Bartzokas: “Victory creates confidence – This year we can refresh the team due to the large rotation”

Two 24 hours after triumph over Panathinaikos in the OAKA for the Euroleague, Olympiacos was stormy and crushed with the unlikely 106-66 Prometheus at SEF for the 6th matchday of the Stoiximan GBL!

After the end of the match, the coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokasit was mentioned that the latest positive results help the team psychologically and build confidence within the “walls” of the club, while he also mentioned the large rotation he has to manage, comparing it to last year.

The statements of Giorgos Bartzokas in detail:



“The last results helped, always the victories create confidence in each other. Players without much playing time will always have a grudge against the manager. This is how it happens in all groups and it makes perfect sense. That’s the way it should be, if you’re indifferent when you don’t play much, it means you have no ego and no motivation. In matches where last year the team struggled, due to a smaller rotation, now we can refresh the team and have a high level of intensity.

At the beginning of the year we had a lot of injury problems and it affected our performance. Now we are almost all of us, we train better, we have more duration in our games and that is important. You look at every practice, every game, you can’t look too far. There are many obligations and you have to focus on tomorrow, because otherwise you see a mountain in front of you.”
