In the very good defense played by Olympic, stood up Sasha Vezenkov after the imposing victory (89-54) of the “red and whites” over Villeurbanne.
At the same time, the ace of Piraeus referred to the upcoming away game of Olympiacos with Panathinaikos (23/12, 21:00) for the 17th game of the Euroleague, characterizing the “greens” as a very good team, even if this is not reflected in the standings.
In detail, Vezenkov’s statements:
«It was a very difficult game, but we managed it well. We played another very good game, especially in defense, where we managed to reduce the two guards of Villeurbanne and we are happy for this achievement because they are both really good players. We have to continue at the same pace, to look ahead because a very tough match awaits us.
All the players, all the teams probably know that I am a good shooter, so I have to find other ways to help my team aggressively, that’s why I work hard every day in training.
But what I will not tire of constantly emphasizing is that everything starts with the defense. When we play well in defense everything is simplified, because in attack we have a lot of talent and we will find the solutions.
The next game, the one with Panathinaikos, is completely different. It’s a derby, we have to prepare very well.
Panathinaikos is a very good team, even if this is not reflected in the score, physically and mentally we must appear ready “.
