Larentzakis: “Turkey will be under pressure after the first result”
Giannoulis Larentzakis spoke about the national team’s second game against Turkey (7:00 p.m., Novasports Prime and LIVE by Sportish) and stressed that the Turks will be under pressure and the national team has the advantage of training all together.
Giannoulis Larentzakis spoke about the second game National Greece against Turkey (7 p.m., Novasports Prime and LIVE by Sportish) in Polis and referred to points that Greek internationals should pay attention to.
At the same time, he pointed to the pressure that the opposing team will have after the defeat in Ano Liossia, but also to the advantage of Ethniki, who trained with all available players.
“I believe that Turkey will release more energy than in the first game because they are also playing at home, but we also worked very well. We have seen many videos that are very useful in such conditions and we will have more energy. We certainly have a lot to fix in relation to the first game, but let’s not forget that we went straight there for the game while the team was now all training together.
We have to pay attention again to our defense against Larkin, Mahmutoglu’s shots and the formation of some other players like we did in the first game. I think if we’re active on defensive transition and rebounds, we’re going to do well. The opponent will have pressure after the first result because there are not many players with experience, but they will also have the momentum for a full field, which is known to create a very warm atmosphere.
