Satoranski: “I don’t forget Printez’s three-pointer, we will have to deal with a difficult atmosphere”

Tomas Satoranski spoke about the atmosphere that Barcelona will face in the SEF in the third quarter-final of the Euroleague with Olympiacos, he asked for victory against a full team, as he described the “red and whites”, he asked them not to make mistakes, he praised Kostas Papanikolaou and the way Giorgos Bartzokas’ team plays and emphasized that he has not forgotten Printezis’ three-pointer that “killed” them and “thrown” them out of the final four.

Analytically:

On tomorrow’s (4/30) match and the series: “Obviously, we have to win a game here under this atmosphere and this environment, which will be very difficult for us. We know how we have to play to win. We know how good and solid Olympiacos is, especially in defense. We have to be flawless for 40′, not make easy mistakes and not give them easy baskets.”

For Kostas Papanikolaou: “The return of Papanikolaou is another “plus” for them. He is a great player, very experienced. He has played in many such matches and this will be another challenge for us, a challenge.”

For Olympiakos: “They never give up. It is very difficult to play with them for 40′, they are very physical, they have size as a team. They enter the racket, always try to capitalize on your mistakes and punish you for them. Tomorrow we will go possession-possession, as all games in this series go.”

On Printezis’ three-pointer: “I don’t have good memories. Those are in the past, but every experience helps you. We know how tough SEF is and how focused we have to be. I remember the crowd here. I have his three-pointer in my mind Printez. It was a good shot that ‘killed’ our Final Four dreams. But being in that game is an advantage for me.”
