In… track for playoffs remained o Olympicwho prevailed with a difficult score 76-72 over Bayern in Munich for the 25th matchday of the Euroleague, thus closing the “devil’s week” of the competition in the best possible way.
At the press conference, the technician of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokas, he emphasized, among other things, that tonight’s victory is one of the most important of the season, especially against a strong team such as the Bavarians.
At the same time, the Greek coach did not forget the lost fan of Aris, Alki Campano, who exactly two years ago lost his life after a murderous attack by hooligans in Thessaloniki.
Giorgos Bartzokas’ statements in detail:
“It was a very intense game for forty minutes. Bayern is in a very good momentum and showed it in the last three matches including the German league games. In my opinion they have one of the deepest rosters and of course a very good coach like Pablo Lasso. They are very strong contenders for the playoffs. So for us to win, having so many injury problems is very important.
Our two main front line players, Fal and Milutinov, are out, while we have added a new player. I consider this win as one of the most important wins of the season. I want to wish Pablo and Bayern the best of luck. We still have nine games left in the regular season and it’s going to be a war. Nothing is easy, not even for us. We will have to stick together and be competitive in every match
Today especially, but also every day, we should remember the unjust loss of Alkis Kampanos and try to become better. Basketball, as well as all sports, are games that should make us happy.”
