Home advantage in no way guarantees the upper hand in Barcelona in tomorrow’s “final” with Olympicas pointed out by Roger Grimmow.
“It’s the biggest game we’ve played this year, along with the Cup final. I hope it will be one of the greatest nights we have ever experienced in this stadium. There is no favourite. The whole series was very close, but I always believe in my team, I think they are the best and we will be ready for the game“, said the “Barca” coach.
“The fact that we are playing at home does not in any way guarantee that we will win. Playing at home gives you more energy and that helps, but you’ll need to do a lot of other things to win. We will have to play really well and follow some things that we did well in the first three games of the series. What we have to do is stay true to our way of playing, although Olympiacos with the way they play doesn’t allow us to play too fast. We know that the opponent is a tough team, that knows how to take advantage of the things that we don’t do so well“, he added.
As for whether he fears for his team’s fatigue, given that they have again had league matches in between and even went to extra time, he said:The program is what it is, there is nothing we can do about it. But it’s like there is Murphy’s law or karma and while we had a match, it went to overtime. What to do…”.
