Barzokas: “We don’t think about choosing a match – the pleasant surprise of the Euroleague or Paris”

Olympiacos departed for Paris, where he will face the team of the French capital (5/2, 21:30) for the 25th Euroleague match!

The coach of the “reds”, George BardzokasHe referred to how he managed to manage the absences of Wokap, Vildosa, described Paris as a pleasant surprise of the event, and made it clear that no one in the team is thinking of choosing games, in view of the next match with Barcelona.

In detail what the Olympic coach said:



How to cope without Wokap and Vildosa: “It will be how we can. If there was a match in which we had to have all the guards available, this is because we need to mark players who are very creative and executive. But it’s not just that, Paris is very good in the offensive rebound, it’s very good in defense transition. It is generally a team that has a structure in its game, I had said it in the first game. You are obviously needed to stay in the plan, not to be seduced, not to give second attacks, which is an important part of their game and of course to perform both the defense and the attack in the right way. “.

On how Paris is treated: “Everyone has played with Paris once and they understand how her game is. Of course they are not immune, they too had 4-5 consecutive defeats. So the Euroleague is, there is no team that does not lose, it also has weaknesses, but I repeat it is a team that plays in one tempo that is difficult for others to follow if they don’t have enough days of preparation, because you need to leave Some habits and go to some others. In any case, it is a very good team, which in my opinion will claim even a home advantage. “

Whether the series 22-0 at the end of the first round match is a guide: “I don’t think, because in the end, when we were in the spectrum of defeat, we pressed hard, stealing balls, scoring continuous points, we went forward and lost two attacks there, with an aggressive rebound rebounded and a three -point one that Iphi put on, So it was judged in one occupation. But the fact that Paris plays with ignorance of danger, very united, playing with intensity, is something they deserve to be congratulated to both the coach and the whole team, it is the pleasant surprise of the Euroleague, one would say. “.

If they think about how many wins they need for the home advantage: “At all, I assure you, neither the players nor we coaches. It is so demanding that the event and the work we have, we played a critical game with Efes, then we played in Patras, now we have this, we don’t think about choosing a match. We will play as best we can all matches. The same thing said the last time in Spain, but we won both. Of course, now the absences are important, but we have only focused on the game with Paris and not with Barcelona ».
