Black: “In every match to perfect who we are”

It is especially important for him Olympic to perfect what he is as a team but also his identity, Tarik Black pointed out in his statements ahead of the match against Barcelona.

The ace of the Red Whites pointed out that the fatigue of the team plays a role… “It affects us to a degree though, everyone has the same number of away games. So you have to overcome it and compete at the same level every time”he said and continued:

“In tomorrow’s match against Barcelona we will have our people on our side. The atmosphere they create is amazing and they give us energy. Throughout the season they are fantastic and support us both in wins and losses. In many difficult games they have given us a boost. We thank them and must congratulate them for everything they do on this pitch.”

Regarding the point that will decide the match, he said:

“We must not forget that these are two teams that are at the top of the table and are fighting for their place in it. That’s why it has to do with how you approach the game. You should come in and play hard. I don’t know if you have this expression in Greece, but we in America say: “You let the chips fall where they may”.

In games like this you have to control yourself, especially when what you are doing has brought you to where you are. You are perfecting who you are and your identity. I think that this is the important thing for us, not to focus on something, but in every match in the Euroleague, in Greece, to perfect what we are, since what we have is working and looks like a well-oiled machine. We have to show our identity, regardless of the fact that we will be facing one of the best and most talented teams in the EuroLeague”concluded.
