THE Nikos Zervas explained to News Bulletin 247 how o Olympic abandoned the NBAer plan and agreed with him Ignas Brazdeikisbut also how the Lithuanian will “stick” to the philosophy of Giorgos Bartzokas.
“Nunn and Davies trained it hard and we were close to going into October. Olympiakos was in a dilemma, to take a risk by waiting for two very good players or to go and make a last ditch effort to break a contract for a player who fits the coach’s needs very well and would not need adjustment time. The timing of Zalgiris’ presence in Cyprus helped, the Lithuanians were initially negative, but the player’s desire made the difference. He pushed for the two sides to enter into negotiations and the two groups found it at 500,000 euros. Brazdeikis can cover a lot of things at Olympiakos. He can offer the ‘3’, gives size, has improved his shot and has room for development. He is a Bartzoka player“, he emphasized.
Finally, commenting on the image in the friendly matches of Cyprus, he said:Olympiacos is clearly unprepared. He has players who are not in the best condition due to injuries or presence in the national teams, but he has the philosophy and automations from last year. Peters has been released into his new role and we are now waiting to see all the pieces of the puzzle. The team still needs time, but the conditions are there to fill the gaps of Sluka and Vezenkov».
