Statements ahead of the first match between Olympiakos and Barcelona for the Euroleague playoffs, made by Willie Ernagometh!
The Blaugrana center talked about the very strong tall players that the Red and Whites have on their roster, which he described as a very solid team, while revealing that he got some advice from his brother, Juancho, who plays for Panathinaikos AKTOR.
What the Barcelona center said in detail:
For Olympiakos: “It has very strong tall, with size and players in general who are very aggresive”.
On Barcelona’s two wins against the Reds in the regular season: “I don’t think we should focus on that, but focus on what Olympiacos is today. A solid team, which has developed a lot and is playing very well. It’s going to be an exciting five-game series that we have to face with the utmost humility. They are the team that plays with the fewest possessions per game and they like 5v5 situations. We will have to deal with that by applying our virtues, which are running all over the field and being more flexible.”.
For the advice Juancho gave him: “He has the experience of the games against Olympiakos in the Greek league and the Cup. I have asked him a bit about his opinion and he has given me some advice”.
