Olympiakos will have to make a really good appearance to beat Bayern in tomorrow (21:30, bwinSPORT FM) game of the 15th Euroleague match at SEF, as stated by Giorgos Bartzokas.
“She is much more experienced than last year. “No game is by definition won in the Euroleague”, stressed the coach of the “red and whites” and clarified that Mustafa Fal will be normally available and in a better condition, than in the game with the Red Star.
In detail, George Bartzokas spoke about:
-the game with Bayern:
“It’s a challenging game for us. I read the analyzes that are made that Olympiacos must definitely do “two in two”, but Bayern is a very difficult opponent. Because of the way he plays and the form in which he is. He has reduced the rotation, he plays with about eight players, but they play well together. They tend to attack players who are weak defensively and in miss matches and defense they play much like us, with 60-70% of the time being with changes. “They have agile tall people who can serve this plan.”
-the situation of Mustafa Fal:
“Yesterday and today he trained normally. It is a body of 2.20m. that a sprain does not have the same effect on the body compared to a shorter and less weight player. “But I think it will be good enough to help us.”
-whether the recent form of Bayern differentiates his plan:
“We have the same victories in the last games, so it has nothing to do with it. It’s a tough game anyway and it will be important to have the known support from our friends. “The game is not won by definition.”
-whether the defeat by the Red Star showed that no game is easy in the Euroleague:
“Those who participate in the Euroleague know very well that there is no easy game. Public opinion often has a different view, as they only see the name of the groups. The practice has clearly shown that there are very good rosters, good team philosophies and you have to be fully prepared to win. It matters which game you have played before, how you have played, if you have traveled. “These things happen to everyone and you can not present them as excuses for your team.”
-whether it focuses defensively on one or some players in particular:
“You can not focus somewhere. On the front line are three players Hunter, Rubit and Thomas who play both as a power forward and as a center and have the ability to post and shoot well from a distance. With five peripherals playing well together. It is generally easy to understand what they are doing, but difficult to deal with. He is in good condition, the coach has been there for a long time and has passed on his philosophy. It is a team that entered the playoffs last year and did not go to the Final Four for a victory. I believe that this year he has added more experience from the Euroleague, with Hunter and Hilliard and he aims to go high. It is a difficult team, but I believe that if we play well we will win. “With a mediocre appearance, however, you do not beat Bayern.”
