The coach Barzokas He said, of course, that Thomas Wokap, would be very difficult to present in the final of the Cup on Sunday against Panathinaikos, but he claimed that: “The group way we play definitely wants talent, but it is certainly not influenced by shortcomings, whether it is one or two. If they are five are different ».
In detail what the Olympic technician said on the media day of the final:
“The quarter -finals and the final from the final are completely different. Most players see them as a process of reaching the final, without wanting to give 100%, so we started yesterday against PAOK and Karditsa. Because opponents are good teams, we have to press on to win. The final games are always a completely different story, it does not play a role if a team is tired or what shortages it has, how much it was pressured or not pressured in the previous matches. It is a special situation managed by people who have insecurities, internal powers and eventually wins the one who is more ready and lucky. “
Regarding how Olympiacos can manage the absences: “If you see all year, we had more absences. We entered the Fal Fracture, then this was done with Wright … Nevertheless we have made a remarkable year, especially in Europe, where we are right now. We have proven that we are first and the group way we play definitely wants talent, but it is certainly not affected by the shortcomings, whether it is one or two. If they are five are different ».
About the world in the stands he said: “It is usually 50-50 in the stands here in Crete. We have played many games with Panathinaikos and I am used to. It is more for players, how they manage this thing with the pressure these games have. But we are optimistic, we believe in our team and we will be ready. “.
Asked if one group may surprise the other replied: “I don’t think we can have surprises. The philosophies of the coaches are specific, they are not only the five five matches this year, they are years of age, they are many participants in this and up and down we know what we will see. I repeat the human factor plays a very big role, how a player or team will react. In the difficult times of a game how compact it will be and how much they will not be affected ».
As for whether he intends to target the racket more than the league match at OAKA, he said: “This is very relevant, it was said that we are not putting the ball in. It is very epidermal to say this, it takes a lot of resolution. Everyone has their own view, my view is obviously another, which I keep for us. We believe in the tall ones we have, I think you know they are very good players, as are our regional and forwards. We will play as a team, as we are used to doing. We will not be selfish with the bad, but in the good sense of the term ».
For the importance of having many different players a lot of assists he said: “It’s important. It is the first thing we have been asking for, in recent years in the Euroleague we are first in the final and first in the creation of a spot up. It is characteristic of how we play. I wish we were not influenced by emotions and continue to play like that. “.
