Low the… ball from him George Bartzokas. In his statements at the press conference after the big one win of Olympiakos against Barcelona, the “red and white” coach focused on the composure, which must exist after victories, while he spoke about the performance of Vildosa and Dorsey.
The statements of Giorgos Bartzokas:
“I give credit to the team and of course to the crowd, who packed the stadium for the third time in a row. It is very important, because we need him by our side.
I’m going to make a separate mention, which you know I don’t like to do. Vildosa tries to do what the coach says and help the team. It doesn’t bother me that he didn’t score today. He had a big contribution to the victory. Also, Dorsey, who didn’t play two days ago, was ready today and showed his talent and prospects.
Also, please return my warmest wishes to Nicola Laprovitola. He is a player that I quite like, Argentines do things out of the ordinary, think outside the box and give another color to basketball. They don’t play like robots, they play special basketball and I really like that».
For the roster and back-to-back games: “I think when you play a lot of games you need more players. We played four back to back. With more players, you can split the time».
As to whether it is a turning point: “It is too early to talk about a turning point in the season. I don’t want to overanalyze the situation. I don’t think any situation can be formed now in the EuroLeague. In that sense, playing well or not playing well is part of the game.
I’m not a professor to give grades. I care about seeing the team fight. If you also have talent, it can lead you to something very important. I don’t want there to be too much excitement, no disappointment when we lose. There are many matches. We have to stay calm both up and down.
Many times a game like that came with him Panathinaikosthat we didn’t show mental readiness, we had to manage how to enter the match, as we had to do then. With so many good teams at this level, you can’t have such a long bad spell, like with Panathinaikos. Yes, we had a big difference in how compact we are. But it also has to do with our players getting more playing time, like Milutinov and Fal».
