Nikos Papadogiannis is outraged by the annual cannibal dance around the national team and demands respect.

Annual cannibal festival with its victim national basketball team This year started early. Even before the names of the players who are going to Manila! The abstention of two states was – somewhat predictably – sufficient to announce the start of hostilities and trench warfare.

It is the fault of the learned who every year lay their finger on the “official sweetheart”, as if it were her fault that the “contrarians” eat wood from their mistresses all winter long.

Sorry for the barbaric parallelism, but I’m sick of seeing the same play every year. Even in years when the waters in the harbor remain calm by some miracle, more and more things will be found to trigger reactions. One is “we don’t play basketball well,” the other is “the greens are more than the reds,” and the third “ Vasilakopoulos“,” in the fourth “arbitration”, in the fifth “they did not invite him.” Manjari and the YankovicAdd the name or excuse you want.

On the other hand, the team that should always be in the spotlight and become an icon, the national football team 2004 I mean, I heard her comments too, even back in the days when she was invading Europe. Why should we basketballers, who are marked Freemasons, expect anything different after all? And where to lose from New Zealandhuh?

Lithuaniansthe Serbsthe Croatsthe French And almost everyone else. what I say Italians They saw the Seven Seas player Paulo Banquero to wear their shirt unbuttoned United States of America; We will go to Manila without two players aged 33-34 who have studied the calendar and realized they will have 24 months of demanding, non-stop work ahead of them, from the end of July 2023 to the end of June 2025.

He ably explained, “We are not withdrawing from the national team, we are just asking for rest this year.” Kostas Slukas And Nick CalathesWho have never missed a summer national team date in their lives except for one year each due to a serious injury. Everything points to the fact that the last festivals of this generation have been postponed to the summer of 2024, with more realistic opportunities for distinction, especially if one of the pre-Olympics tournaments is held in Greece.

I remind you that Manila will be given only to Europe two tickets For the Olympic Games, three if the hostess’s self-righteousness is added From France – Regarding France.

Don’t go away, I’m not done, I have more to say. Everyone else was in their place Giannis AntikonmoWith knee surgery, an ailing body, and a $220 million contract, he would keep the Blues in a drawer for months. I don’t know how much difference sponsor pressure makes, but I do know that Giannis is keeping the case open because he wants to play deep inside. This year may be his last chance to excel with the national team, otherwise it will be the penultimate one. You see him playing Eurobasket 2025, at 31, summer contract, in a national team perhaps weaker? Me too.

Incidentally, the plan that is rumored to be heralded dollars For one share every 3-4 days Greek Freak in Manila is almost viable, unless otherwise. The national team plays with it Jordan On 8/26 with United States of America On 8/28 with New Zealand On 30/8 with a team next to the club on 1/9 and with another team next to the club on 3/9 (Lithuania, Mexico, Montenegro, Egypt So do not search). If she wins only the first, third, and last matches of this schedule, she advances to the quarter-finals, which are scheduled for September 5-6. So?

Cannibals, of course, are not interested in it world Cup. They’ll see ‘the ball’ in August and September, while from now they celebrate on October 6, the night of the first green-red derby of the year (second, if the domestic Super Cup that precedes it is also counted).

The coach and the national team players, present and absent, receive a shootout not because they miss the blue, but because of the green and red shirts they wear on the inside. the the Union Not for his convulsive manipulation of the national team, but for derby rule, nepotism and byzantium, real and imaginary.

Meanwhile, the old man warns you to write off the national team, no matter how incomplete it may travel to Manila.

In the last Mundobasket, in China, a team played in the final whose captain was 40 years old, and as a lieutenant – behind the main five – some idiots.
