Her “key” victory (98-88) of Olympiakos against Bayern Munich was the improvement in defense, as stated by George Bartzokas.
Details of what the coach of the “red and whites” said:
«It was a high quality game, mostly offensive. The final score shows this. We made a structured defensive appearance in the second half. Our opponent scored 53 points in the first half and finished the match with 88, that is, he scored 35 in the second half and that was the key. We showed dedication to our defensive duties, we played as a team, we played with hustle and the only thing I can complain about is some lost rebounds, which gave Bayern and Rubit a second or sometimes third chance. In the end, however, we managed to win the match. It is a very important victory for us, against a team that I really respect for the way he plays, for the help he has from the bench from Mr. Trinkieri and for his experienced roster. It is a victory that I really appreciate. Congratulations to my players. Also, a big thank you to all our fans who were on the field and helped us so much».
Regarding the Ukraine-Russia war, he said: «I would like to mention that we are in the midst of a global crisis. This war causes misery to all of us, saddens us, disappoints us … Let us hope that it will end as soon as possible. It is sad that nowadays innocent people are dying for no real reason in my view».
