Olympiacos called not to repeat against Red Star (27/1, 21:00) the many mistakes he had against Maccabi Tel Aviv, as he pointed out George Bartzokas.
«We trained yesterday, we will do today. We had two days to prepare this game. Absences we have is the truth. We will see tomorrow who will be and who will not be“, Said initially the coach of the” red and whites “and continued:
«It is a team that defends very well in the first ten seconds of the attack and we have to be patient in the movement of the ball. This is the most important thing when you play against them to have patience and find out at what point during the attack they will show weakness. That is, you should not rush. Beyond that, as I said, it is a team that defends very well on the ball and is very competitive. If you look at their last games, they have either won or lost on the point. They have some constants in their game and we have to be ready».
Regarding the large number of mistakes that Olympiakos made in the last European match: “We need to analyze our players the way their opponents play and tell them what to do. Beyond that, many times the mistakes are the result of the very good defensive effort of the opponents, but, often, they are also the result of your own bad night, bad decisions, bad spiritual approach to the game. Of course we have to protect the ball. Giving 21 possessions to the opponent, as we did in the match against Maccabi, is a problem. In general, however, they have done well in this area throughout the year. We do not make many mistakes and this is a key element to win matches».
