Bartzokas: “We showed naivety – We need time, which we don’t have”

In the inaction shown by Olympiacos, stood the George Bartzokas at the press conference after his team’s win over her Armani Milan.

The coach of Piraeus explained that the games that everyone considers won are the most difficult, while he noted that the “red and whites” need time, but added that they don’t have it.

In detail, Giorgos Bartzokas spoke about:

-the game: “It was the third match in a row, in which we had a lot of pressure. It was a match we had to win, after those with Villerban and Alba Berlin. Armani Milano played amazingly, had their chances, made consecutive three-pointers to get back into the match. We had a double-digit difference of 13-15 points, but we showed naivety. We made mistakes and lacked patience, we gave them easy baskets. They found confidence, but in the draw Williams Goss’ three-pointer and Fal’s assist, as well as Mustafa Fal’s two saves, decided the outcome.

-the world: “We thank the people for their support, we got to play in front of a lot of people. You see all the teams are making ticket records in the EuroLeague. Even against Alba, we played in front of 12 thousand spectators even though they do not dominate the competition. I see the other results too, everyone realizes how difficult the situation is. Match by match, practice by practice we have to find ourselves and the combinations that will allow us to play well. Let’s prepare for the next game, let’s fight hard to win».

-the mistakes made by Olympiacos: “We made a lot of mistakes tonight, I think 17, they had 11 steals. Stealing always leads to surprise. We need time, which we don’t have. Monaco is a strong contender for the Final Four, everyone will be ready. The matches that everyone considers won are the most difficult. The ones that, if you don’t win, will create a crisis, are the most difficult».
