THE George Bartzokas he admitted that his team has a problem with decisions at the end of the games and this has cost him Olympic. However, the coach of Piraeus emphasized that he supports his players and expects a reaction in Friday’s match against Villeurbanne in France (20:45).
On the defeat of Olympiakos in Italy and how to fix it: “Daily work, you go into training and set new goals. The loss against Bologna hurts us a lot, we controlled the game for 39 minutes. We didn’t do good things at the end and lost the game. That’s life. We have to concentrate on the game against Villeurbanne.”
Regarding Olympiacos losing their own games: “We’re looking for that too. We missed five one-on-one layups, some of them late in the game. If we had put any of them we would have won, but this is a simple analysis. We need to make better decisions. There is a pressure problem in the previous three games were decided on the point and it was against us. The one with Virtus was the fourth, we could have had a few more wins with different decisions or maybe a little more luck. Our job is to analyze what is wrong. To support our players as much as possible, especially those coming back from inactivity due to injuries like Williams-Goss.”
For the next game against Villeurbanne: “We absolutely have to beat Villeurbanne. There is no team in the Euroleague that you win by default, I think Barcelona confirmed that by losing to Alba Berlin. All teams will have periods when they win or lose all the time and in both cases you have to be moderate. To improve from the daily work, we will succeed and we will do it”.
