For Specific features of tomorrow (17/3, 21:00) match with Panathinaikos for the 30th game of the Euroleague, spoke the coach of Olympiacos, George Bartzokaswho congratulated his players for qualifying for the playoffs.
The coach of the “red and whites”, speaking to NOVA, referred to the demanding game against Zalgiris, the psychology of his team, the preparation for the “eternal” derbybut also the atmosphere at SEF.
The statements of George Bartzokas in detail:
For fatigue: “It is a given that we had a very demanding game with a trip on Tuesday and Panathinaikos is preparing more than us. This is a given but we can not rely on it as a factor in the game, we have to overcome it. “
On whether Olympiacos is going with an elevated psychology: “The game with Panathinaikos is always special. It has a little more pressure, you know what the data is. The fact that we went through the eight and with a significant difference in the win-loss record I consider to be a very important achievement of the team, the players in particular and the management. It was the second goal of the year after the cup that was achieved relatively early. I want to congratulate everyone, but we do not stop here. “We want to win every match if possible by the end of the year and finally see where we end up at the end of the year.”
About how things have changed regularly: “We could not dedicate time to Panathinaikos because we had the match with Zalgiris and it is our beginning to deal with a game only when the previous one is over. Our staff has finished scouting Panathinaikos, but the information to me and the players was given after last night’s game, last night. Panathinaikos has a specific way of playing, it is always read by its coach and it has a method in what it presents. At the same time, as I said, the games are special. They depend a lot on how they shoot the ball, on whether they are accurate from the outside. But when a game starts many things play a role, the form of the players, the determination, the reluctance of some, the stability. Let’s hope that these will be in our favor and we will emerge victorious. “
For the atmosphere at SEF: “I do not want to send a message because I am sure of the world of our team. He is very supportive this year. It does not put pressure on the team, it encourages it even in its bad times. It was one of the main reasons that our team moved to the “8” and one of the main factors that our record compared to last year is so different. I am sure that the atmosphere will be warm and all I want to say to the world is that our effort is not over, we still have a lot to do in the year “.
