Zervas: “Olympiacos must change things – Slukas should have played in the end”

In rhythm Lantern keeps moving o Olympicwho after losing in Game 4 on Turkish soil will need a fifth match in the SEF to qualify for the Final Four.

THE Nikos Zervas talk to News Bulletin 247 for the news of the “red and whites”, starting with the competition and the unexpected with Papanikolaou’s absence from training.“He has a virus and Papanikolaou did not train, there is anxiety because the team only has one training session tomorrow. His class is such that he probably won’t lose the game. We hope he will train tomorrow and leave with the team.” Zervas specifically mentioned.

Afterwards, the Piraeus reporter made a general report on the series with the Lantern and what needs to change to reach Olympic in qualification: “Fener has reduced the creation of Olympiakos, they have played the matches low and that is why we have a fifth game. Olympiacos is always faithful to its plan, but the opponent has read it and has to change things. More individual actions are needed with Sluka and McKissick, and the ball not getting stuck in the hands of Walkup who has been disorganized by the Fener defense. Perhaps Slukas should have played the final two minutes of Game 4 after the way Game 3 ended. Piraeus have been fighting all year for the advantage, now is the time to redeem it. Logic says that Bartzokas will close the rotation.”

Finally, he referred to the very poor refereeing against him Olympiakou in the fourth game of the series, emphasizing how it allowed the home team to play very hard, but also on the question of the durations for the next season, which are expected to be very high.
