Interview with French media, “Bebasket”, granted Bourgeois!

The French star of Olympiacos talked about the upcoming derby of the “centuries” (14/3, 21:15), which will take place at the SEF, as part of its 29th Euroleague competition, and also referred to his adaptation to Greece and his goals with the “reds”!

In detail what the French guard said:



For the game with Panathinaikos: “We are trying not to encourage ourselves, because six regular races are left. We have a pretty experienced team. There is no excitement, even though we all know that the goal is to conquer the Euroleague.

I’m not going to tell you lies. It starts with a big derby this week against Panathinaikos. It is difficult to realize how important it is to the club and for fans.

We have already played five times with Panathinaikos this season, we have two wins and three defeats. And honestly, when you lose, the rest of the week is difficult for everyone. You feel it’s just another game. And when you win, the rest of the week is relaxed ».

To adapt it to Greece: “It’s very special! I just begin to understand the meaning. I didn’t really know what to expect at first. I had never gone to Athens, or even to Greece, except for a tournament with the French U16 team. I discovered it and in fact, their temperament had stuck to me.

The Greeks are passionate, intense, very immediate, they have no filter and that is something I like, especially after 12 years in the United States where things do differently. There they keep telling you that everything is well. It’s not criticized, it’s just a different culture. Here, it is much more consistent with my mentality and my wife. We love here. “.

For Olympiacos: “We have a great coach, George Bardzokas, who has a really great philosophy. In fact, we have all the elements combined to have an explosion. I am very happy to have found myself again with the phall, with whom I was in the polie. We are doing very well. To use the expression of Vincent Cole, it is a little totem. It is the calm power, it is our anchor and it also has a very good season. I am very happy to be able to share minutes with him again and I hope we can lift a trophy together. We talked on the phone several times ».
