Giorgos Bartzokas spoke at the press conference about his team’s very good defense in today’s victory of Olympiacos against Real. At the same time, the “red and white” coach dedicated today’s appearance to Christos Buffet.
What he said in detail at the press conference:
“It was an amazing night for our team. It was an important match for our course in the competition and the players were ready. We played a really good game defensively against a talented team offensively, allowed just 60 points and didn’t give them anything easy. We were nervous in attack, we could have done better. We thanked our fans for enjoying a European derby and now we are looking at the next match, because we have a difficult match next.”
For the defense: “Generally when I see the team is focused apart from the start with Tavares who had 4/5 with our mistakes, defense is the way to find rhythm in attack. We wanted to prove that we are strong competitors for the top 8, that should be the goal.”
On the fact that Olympiacos did not lose the lead against Real: “What happens to us happens in all the stadiums. They have happened in other matches with 15, 18 and 20 points. When a team finds rhythm and confidence you have to pay attention. We did a good job, especially Black, and we dominated the opponent. There is no recipe.”
On how it keeps players on their toes: “They are high-level players and everyone knows they will have their moments. One man basketball is dead. It could be in a month, depending. I also try to do rotation in the Greek league and I do it in collaboration with the doctors, the physiotherapists, but sometimes the match overturns these. How many times we played with absences like Papanikolaou in Spain, Vezenkov with Panathinaikos and Sluka with Virtus, but we also covered the gaps”.
For Christos Buffet: “We dedicate the victory to Christos. Everything is super and will be with us quickly. And I say it from our hearts that this is more important than any win or loss and we are more than happy.”
