The Usman Garouba and Andres Felis remain out of combat in Real and will not be available for Tuesday’s match with Olympic at SEF (21:15).
“We go to Athens with the same composition as the last matches, there are no differences“, said Chus Mateo.
“We will have to be very focused against an opponent who is always solid. They are a great team that often reach the final stages of the Euroleague. Due to its roster, tradition, history and level, Olympiacos will be high again this year“, added the coach of the “queen”.
He commented on the mediocre performances of Olympiakos: “It’s a logical progression for a great team to acquire new players. Vezenkov has been there before, but they have other important players who need to adapt and that takes time. Olympiacos is an opponent who always makes things very difficult and regardless of the moment, I am sure they will be in the top positions at the end of the season».
He said of his team’s image:We have played better, especially in defence. It’s a long year and we have to get to a point so we can be right in the final games. Every year I feel like it’s the most fun and tough EuroLeague, but every year it’s very tough».
