Bartzokas: “For reasons of prestige, you always want to win – It’s not something serious about Slukas”

Giorgos Bartzokas commented on the opportunities that Olympiacos had to clean up the derby with Panathinaikos in OAKA earlier, while he also referred to the problem that Slukas appeared to be facing.

In detail, what he said to the ERT camera:

On whether Olympiacos showed character: “I’m not sure, because we had a lot of chances to clear earlier, but in the end it became difficult with Bacon’s shot that put us under pressure. It was a game that doesn’t have that much importance, let’s not hide, we think we had the advantage, but for prestige reasons you always want to win and that’s why it’s important”

For showing a reaction: “We have a good team, it has been proven time and time again. We wanted to get Sluka playing to find a rhythm.

On whether Kostas Sloukas had a problem at the end: “He had a problem in his calf, but I don’t think it will be anything serious, he wanted to protect himself.”

For the continuation in the Euroleague: “We are first in the Euroleague with five games to go. We are fighting for home advantage, which is a very important achievement for our team. We aimed to get to eight and as you can see we have done better. We have a good team and we will chase the advantage until the end”
