Bartzokas: “Let’s show that we are the best team in the series with Fenerbahce”

Olympiacos comfortably overcame the obstacle of Aris in the Basket League playoffs, celebrating a second victory against them, with George Bartzokas to give his congratulations to the people of Thessaloniki through his statements, while he then expressed his impatience for the matches with Fenerbahce, which he described as a quality team with a very good coach.

What the Olympiacos coach said in detail at the press conference:



“Congratulations to Aris on his commendable season. They could have finished 5th, but they ended up 8th. Even with significant absences in the rotation, they showed their character, they fought and you have to play differently with Aris. You have to pass quickly. We did that in both games and won relatively comfortably.”.

For Fenerbahçe: “Now the big challenge starts on Wednesday, we are excited, we have two days to prepare physically and mentally for these games. We have to stick to our coaching job. Teams emerge stronger from these tests. You can’t rest for a single day. There are requirements, they have a good coach and team. We had a better image than Fener, to show that we are better in this series. You have to concentrate and see that you only have one game and no more.”.

For Olympiakos’ 18 mistakes: “In these games my job is more difficult than the Euroleague. We didn’t want to spend a lot of effort and time. Even in such a match with so many mistakes. We had 30 points close to the end of the game. I can’t blame the players, our goal now is to qualify for the Euroleague”.
