Pigeon bwin and Olympiacos will face each other in the first semi-final of the Super Cup (17:00), which will be held in Rhodes.
Of course, it will be first official game of the two teams in the season, with both preparing for the start of the European competitions, as well as for the domestic ones.
It is recalled that Vassilis Spanoulis’ team will compete in BCL, while he showed a good image in friendly games, counting two wins against PAOK and Sassari, and one defeat against Panathinaikos.
In fact, the Greek coach will not have any competitive problems ahead of the match, in which he will try to “hurt” the team that experienced the greatest days of his career.
“We are playing the first official match of the year for our team. It is a knockout game, a semi-final against a very good team like Olympiacos. For 1.5 months, we have worked quite well in our preparation, especially lately, for this specific game.
Olympiacos is a very good team. They are the favourites, but if we take what we have worked for all this time on the pitch, we will chase the victory to go to the final.” were his words Vassilis Xanthopoulos ahead of the game.
On the other hand, Mr George Bartzokas he will not have at his disposal, the new transfer acquisition of the team, Ignas Brazdeikis, as he is unprepared, while it will be necessary for one of the foreigners to stay outside, due to the restriction, with him Shaquille McKissick to be the dominant one.
The “red and whites” showed that they are finding a rhythm in their last two friendly games, counting the same number of victories against two teams that he will find in front of him in the Euroleague as well, the Zalgiris and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Piraeus team aims, of course, to win the Super Cup and start the new season in the best way, which will also give them great morale in view of the continuation.
It is worth noting that the second pair consists of Panathinaikos and PAOK, game will start at 20:00.
