The certainty that the Olympic can get to the point in City against Fenerbahce to become boss again in the playoffs series expressed George Bartzokas upon shipment departure.
“We had good training sessions, but we had also done good ones before the first two matches. Sometimes it’s a matter of day, approach, circumstances… Small things are always done by all the coaches, but Fener had approached us with the same tactics in the previous games. I expect difficult games, but it will be just as difficult for Fener. We have significant potential and we are called upon to prove it“, he emphasized.
“Details play an important role. We weren’t good in the second game, but in the end the game came down to 1-2 possessions at the end. Possessions are important. When a team has 15, 16, 17 more possessions, they will inevitably win. Nevertheless, the match was decided in the end“, he added.
As for whether last year’s reaction after Monaco’s 1-1 draw is a guide, he replied: “One can say that, but on the other hand we lost the second game last year as well, and one can say that we didn’t learn from that. The human factor is very important, you don’t know how everyone manages it. We are not talking about children, but about professionals».
The Olympiakos team flew to Istanbul without problems and with 13 players, as George Papas is also in the team.
