In Heraklion, Crete, since Friday afternoon (13/09) o Olympicwho will participate in the AEGEAN OMIROS COLLEGE International Basketball Tournament in the “Two Aorakis”, together with Virtus Bologna, Fenerbahce and Armani Milano.
The coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokasreferred to his team’s participation in such a strong tournament, a few days before the official obligations with the Super Cup, while he emphasized that there is no “Bartzokas basketball”but only basketball that wins!
Giorgos Bartzokas’ statements in detail:
For the tournament in Crete: “It will be a very important two days for us, because in essence now we are gathering more, we had several shortcomings in the first two friendlies and because we are entering the final stretch of official obligations. This tournament is very important. The opponents are all three very good. And of course the conditions in Heraklion are fantastic as always”.
For the warm welcome of Olympiakos friends in Heraklion: “Of course there is absolute satisfaction. You know this is Olympiacos and our world. Wherever we go we have supporters of our team and we thank them very much.”
On whether the transfers will be able to assimilate the style of play: “There is no Bartzokas basketball. Basketball is one. What wins and what doesn’t. We hope they will be participants in winning basketball.”
For injury problems: “Hopefully he’ll be back later (lucky). Milutinov, Fall, McKissick and Evans won’t be here right now, who wouldn’t be anyway. The others are each at a different level of form, based on the schedule they had before, but several are here. We’ve got a pretty deep roster this year, so we’ll be up for it anyway.”
