Platha, the stars he raised, and the pun on his name
Juan Plata introduced himself to the Greek public and revealed himself. He talked about the reasons why he chose AEK, the goals he sets with it, but also referred to his career and highlighted some names of players that he had highlighted. He explained the correct pronunciation of his name and explained that this also goes back to “Giannis”.
Speaking to the Greek audience for the first time, Juan Plata answered journalists’ questions about the new chapter of his career, AEK, while also going back in time and pointing to great athletes who had had a career after going through the teams he had coached .
In particular, players like Yule, Satoranski, Porzingis, Balvin, Sabonis and Diath were made available to the new Union coach in the past and made a significant contribution to their later development.
Significantly, he declared: “MrWhen I was at Real I signed a young player nobody knew, Sergio Yul. Then when I went to Seville I signed Satoransky, Porzingis and Balvin, who had great careers. In Zalgiris I also coached several players who later went to the NBA.
In Malaga there were athletes like Sabonis, who went to the NBA, and Alberto Diath, who played for the Spanish national team. During this process, some teams played the first European final in their history, others won European championships, some won championships, so at the same time I knew how to do this process.”
Since the pronunciation of his first name is the subject of differing opinions, he did not fail to mention the correct pronunciation: “My name is Juan but you can call me Giannis and I have no problem.
