(9/13/2007) "We believe in ourselves and we will will the preliminary game" Tomorrow begins the really difficult part of the tournament, as our National team will have to face the Slovenian National team, at a knock-out game, for its entrance in the best four teams of Eurobasket. The players of our team have proven signs of improvement during the last games, and this is what underlines Dimos Dikoudis, who is one of the best players of the team. "The second phase of the tournament may has started badly, as we were easily - as it finally came out - defeated by Spain, but after that, we got better, we played much better basketball, differently to the previous way of playing, and thus we won Croatia and Portugal" said the international power forward and added: "These two wins, apart from the fact that made us be at the eight best teams of Eurobasket, actually helped us psychologically, as I believe that the team appeared more "relaxed" and more free at its attack". As far as  the tomorrow game is concerned, Dimos Dikoudis, made himself clear: "Now we have to face Slovenia, a team that plays really well at the tournament, plays collectively, though we believe in ourselves and tomorrow we will be ready to win the game and the entrance at the four top teams of Eurobasket".
