He left Vitoria with… empty hands Olympicwho on Friday night suffered a fair defeat with score 80-69 from Baskonia at the “Fernando Buesa Arena” for the 21st matchday of the Euroleague.
Speaking at the press conference, the coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokasspoke about his team’s poor performance, stressing, among other things, that many players were not in good shape and that many were hesitant in ending and executing decisions.
At the same time, he expressed the need to become one immediate… restart to the team, both in the spiritual and in the competitive part.
Giorgos Bartzokas’ statements in detail:
“Congratulations to Baskonia and Dusko Ivanovic. I wish him to make 750 matches 1000. We had a bad performance, especially in the third period. Even in the first half when we were ahead, we missed layups, made a lot of mistakes and continued like that in the second half. Baskonia was confident in the execution and deserved the win.
We need to do a reboot, think about our toughness, physical and mental. No matter what, I’ll find the players to execute the plan. It matters how we approached the match, most of them played below their level, I was looking to find who was in the spirit of the match and I couldn’t. Many were in bad shape, many hesitated, made bad decisions. It’s not one problem, the problem is how we played as a team. We were one point ahead and we made a layup.”
