Matias Lesor expressed his opinion on the big derby with Olympiakos next Monday.
“Everyone is talking about this game. We have to win this special match.” said the ace of the greens who praised the team’s fans and declared sure that the atmosphere in the OAKA stadium will be… special.
In detail what he said:
“I have played many times in another derby that is similar to the Greek one, the one in Serbia between Partizan and Red Star. It is a very important and special game for the city and the fans. I am excited to play in another great derby”
For the first round game in SEF:
“What excited me about this game was our defense. We played amazing defense and that’s why we won.”
For Monday’s derby (22/1):
“As I said before derbies are special games. They have a lot of meaning. You feel in the atmosphere the energy of these games days before. Everyone is more focused. In the city everyone is talking about this game. Everywhere you go people are asking you to win, you realize the importance of Monday’s game. We have to win this special game.”
Where he thinks he will be judged:
“In fighting and will. We have to play with concentration, fight for every ball and use the fouls properly. The details can play a decisive role.”
About the difference between playing in SEF and OAKA:
“It’s a big difference. Especially in the EuroLeague games we play in our stadium, the atmosphere is great. Our fans are amazing, they fill the stadium and give energy to the whole team. They push us to victory. I don’t want to say anything bad about the fans of Olympiakos, but I believe that the atmosphere that our fans will create in the derby on Monday will be special. They will go crazy…”
