The victims of Door 7 were dedicated by George Bardzokas the great win of Olympic on Barcelona (88-90) in the 26th Euroleague match, after the Awesome buzzer beater by Fournier!
“It was a really difficult game for us, but also for Barca. Both teams are fighting for the best possible place. For us, before we travel for this double week, having a lot of minor injuries to Fournier, Fal, Vezenkov after playing with Paris and without Vildoza and Wokapap, we thought that winning a game would be ok but The refuse to Lose Mentality we have given us another victory todayvery important against a team that gave it all.
Although we were ahead of the score with 7 points, they returned and probably deserved the win as much as we were. It was, in the end, an issue of an attack at the end. Congratulations to the players, I am grateful to our fans both in Paris and tonight. They deserve the victory as long as the players“, He said first.
Following a question on arbitration he stressed: “Anyone who loses a game at Euroleague is a new fashion, he has to say something about the referees. Don’t expect me to say something other than that arbitration was 50-50. In the last four attacks, Kevin Panther has taken all free shots. It is always a matter of visual”
To how important the additions of Sasa Vezenkov and I find Fournier: “We know that last year it was one of our best seasons, which we have managed to reach a third consecutive Final 4, but this year we have even more talent with players such as Sasa Vezenkov and Evan Fournier. You see how competitive the league is. It is very important to have the talent of Sasha and Evan, but We prove that we have a strong teamwe have principles and we all play together, as a team”
On how important support of fans was: “When we were 9 points behind the team reacted and immediately in 2 minutes, if I am not mistaken, we returned and overtaken. This means we have character as a group and we play as a team. I know what Olympiacos means to fans. Where we play we have fantastic support from the fans, it is a passion for them to support the club in good and bad times. Even on stadiums we can’t have fans next to us”
While in closing, he devoted the victory to the memory of the victims of Door 7: “I would like to point out something very important to our club, the 8th of February is an extremely important day, 21 children were lost, 44 years ago. Tomorrow (the day has changed) we have the memorial in their memory in Piraeus. We would like to devote tonight’s victory to them. And to all our followers“
