Fenerbahce-Olympiakos: Piraeus are looking for a “double” to regain the advantage

He aspires to make a reaction Olympic!

The “red and white” are hosted at the “Ulker Arena” by Fenerbahcein Game 3 of the series between them, with the aim of doing the “double” that will put them back on track for qualification.

His team Dimitris Itoudis he showed a very good face in the first two games, he made it very difficult for him Olympic and finally managed to make the break at the home of the “red and white” in the second game, winning with a score of 82-78.

Now, for the Piraeus team, at least one “double” in the city is a one-way street, otherwise they will be disqualified from the rest of the tournament, despite the fact that they finished in first place in the regular season. It will definitely be necessary for Giorgos Bartzokas’ team to raise its performance a lot, if it wants to “put its back” on the much-read Fener.

The “red and whites” will definitely need to control the defensive rebounds much better, which were a big “wound” in the second game and were a decisive factor in the defeat. At the same time, they will definitely need more solutions from their second unit, something Fener had to a large extent in the first two teams.

Regarding absences, Mr Olympic he will go down with a full roster, aiming to get as much as he can out of his rotation Giorgos Bartzokas. From Fener’s point of view, the absentee list is not “white”, as Devin Booker will certainly not play, as in the first two matches, while the participation of Scotty Wilbekin and Nemanja Bielica will be decided at the last minute.

We have to do many things well and be competitive. We proved we can handle the competition and that’s what we want to do, play at the highest level and fight for every possession. Olympiacos are still favourites, but we proved we can compete with them”said Dimitris Itoudis ahead of the match.

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”Giorgos Bartzokas emphasized for his part.
