THE Olympic played with fire in the SEF against Villerban, but found the solutions in the “final stretch” of the game, winning 94-92 and taking his fourth consecutive victory in the EuroLeague.
After the match, Nigel Williams-Goss he emphasized that his team did not underestimate the French and that all their players contributed to the upset and the final victory. At the same time, he deified him Evan Fournier for the elements he adds to the Piraeus.
In detail what he said:
For what judged the match: “It was a strange game, we didn’t have the energy we needed. What we have to do is improve for the sequel. We did not underestimate Villerban. He may not have a good record so far, but he is making the matches close and also almost beat Barcelona.
The bad mindset is in our approach. That set us on an adventure tonight. Good teams have to find a way to get these kinds of wins as well. Walkup hit a big 3-pointer and got some great tries at the end. Sasha was very good and Milutinov was dominant. Everyone played great. We have to play the same as everyone, regardless of who we play and where they are in the ranking.”
About Malenton: “It’s how you approach a match. You have to send the message to players like Malenton that you show him your will to win from the start, otherwise if you give him space and time then you can hardly stop him.”
For Fournier: “He’s adapted very quickly, that’s amazing. He didn’t pay any attention at the beginning when he didn’t have that good matches, he is interested in understanding the system and the game, it helps a lot and I think it will be like this until the end of the season”.
