He tries to keep everyone’s feet on the ground George Bartzokas stressing that the goal of qualifying for the playoffs has not been achieved yet and that it is too early to discuss a home advantage. As his coach made clear Olympicthe match with Alba on Thursday in Berlin hides pitfalls.
«Every game is different, but the Euroleague has a special significance in itself. Depending on the position you take, you also get bonuses, so no team is indifferent and everyone wants to be competitive. This was proved yesterday and many times this year. Alba is playing well lately, it has a good percentage of wins in the Euroleague, we must not change our approach and as we always do, we can only deal with the next game“, Stressed during the departure of the mission to Germany.
As for the discussion about home advantage? «It is not true that the first goal is to secure the home advantage. The first goal is to enter the playoffs because in previous years we were not. We are generally close to the goal, but we can not change our approach now and say that we are interested in finishing second, third or fourth because we have extremely difficult games, we only have to concentrate on the game with Alba which is very demanding and I tell the team to do not read the scripts for how many wins we need. I’m not saying this to be mediocre, we are close to the playoffs and this is a very important achievement, but we have not secured it mathematically. We have seen a lot in world sports, and we have to look at the next game because it is difficult».
