Fournier: “I had no patience in the game”

Evan Fournier spoke about the defeat of Olympiakos by Fenerbahce and the responsibilities assigned to him after the end of the match.

The French ace in what he said in americanos24 he referred to what was wrong with Piraeus yesterday, pointing out that the problem he locates in the attack and the fact that he and his teammates lacked patience.

What he said to “Amerikanos24” in detail:

For what went wrong against the Turks:

“I think the problem was the attack. We were very impatient, especially me. We were too impatient, too aggressive to the basket, instead of moving them side to side through traffic. We have to be more patient.”

On whether there were similarities with OAKA’s game against Panathinaikos:



“No, it was completely different. It was two completely different games, completely different plan, different approach. We had a bad performance against Panathinaikos and we wanted to play better, but Fener played well and for many reasons we didn’t. Like I said, we were very impatient offensively, especially me. So these games are completely different. I don’t think we were thinking about the game against Panathinaikos at all.”

For what Piraeus will need to recover:



“We have to play better. We need to get back to what we do best. Let’s play our own basketball. To maintain our confidence. Let’s not let these two games shake us and just move forward and bounce back.”
