Lountzis: “Let’s get tough with Barcelona”

Key to its appearance Olympiakou in tomorrow’s game against Barcelona is the hardness as mentioned by Luntzis in his statements today. The ace of the Red and Whites emphasized that if his team has this element tomorrow then they will be able to claim victory.

In detail, the Olympiakos guard stated:

For the match for Barcelona:

“We’re talking about a very talented team, with very talented players who know how to play the game. I think what we need to do early on is bring out the toughness that we have and start games with.

Let’s start from the defense, have constant contact with them and not let them play their game. Because if we let them loose, they can play a very good match.”

On Olympiakos’ absences and how it affects him to see his teammates injured:



“It’s definitely not nice and good for a team not to have all the players. And for those who are playing and for the guys who might feel weird with the injury because they can’t help the team for whatever reason, but unfortunately in basketball and in sports there are also injuries.

Thank God the kids don’t have anything too serious. They will be with us very soon, we are waiting for them and we are really waiting to be all together again, the team together so that we can all show together what we can do on the court”.

On whether he’s ready for an increased role with Williams-Goss and McKissick out:



“I’m always ready, so, yeah.”
