After the start of the Euroleague, it is time for a A1 that we have not seen in the last two years. After the departure of the “red and whites” during the semifinals of the cup on 13 February 2019 , the change of leadership in the presidency of the EEC allowed them to return again to the big “salons” of the Greek basketball.
The election of Vangelis Lioliou and especially the departure of George Vasilakopoulos from the presidency helped to make the wish of the Angelopoulos brothers but also of all the friends of the sport, who saw the A1 wither, without the presence of one of its two strong poles.
The 60th edition of history begins today and is the first time a newcomer is considered a favorite by the betting companies . Of course, when this is Olympiakos , things are completely different. Their transfer moves have played a big role in this development, as they filled the gap of Vassilis Spanoulis (their emblematic leader announced his retirement from active action) with quality players but also “Thirsty” for distinctions. hours and more the performance of Piraeus for this year’s champion.
On the other side is Panathinaikos , which as we saw in its Euroleague premiere (easy defeat away from Monaco), is wanted. His new coach Dimitris Priftis is obliged to manage a roster without experience in big events, while a deterrent factor is, without a doubt, the financial hardship that characterizes the “green” OEM since Dimitris Giannakopoulos decided to distance himself.
From there on, the other teams participate in a separate championship, with the prize of participating in the playoffs but also to avoid relegation. Prometheus of Patras and AEK look like a “click” closer to the two “eternals”, while Larissa and Aris are the first favorites to play next year in the second division of Greek basketball.
