Olympiacos defeated Villerban 81-70, with his assistant George Bardzokas, George Bozikato stand up to the problems faced by the “red -whites” offensive, the performance of the Fal and the problems of absences that he and his associates were called upon to face.
In detail what he said:
“We didn’t get other players in our game aggressively. We played a game that is not what we are working on, what we do training, we went individually to win a team that is athletic and it is common to mark very well. It is something they work in training daily. We certainly didn’t read the game well. We had several problems. In the first and fourth periods we allowed them to score several points which should not be done to close the two half. However, I think we were lucky enough to win the game when we passed a point in front of Vezenkov’s three shots. We had no good choices and together with Malendon’s three -pointer he gave them a psychological avant -garde and took a significant lead. “.
For the bad night of the Fal and the absence of Milutinov: “The five we used show that we couldn’t play regular basketball, with five that we haven’t even played in training. Fal has a fatigue, as he has long been alone in this position. He was hit in the match with Panionios and was in pain, he had a nuisance in combination with some lost shots and easily lost baskets at the beginning of the match, I think they influenced him. Defensively he was good in the first half but in the second and he was influenced by the general picture. “.
For the match against Monaco: “We do not look at scores and intersections we look at the next game, every match we want to win and we want to finish in the first place. We want to win by the end of the regular season, this will happen if we solve the issues we have. We have to integrate Goku and Wright have to find a rhythm. I think people will help us. It is good we play right after defeat will help us fix things ».
For the playoffs: “The opponent’s ranking doesn’t matter, you have to win at home every time. They are separate games that want special management, they want character and experience. We have these elements, we look forward to the playoffs. We do not like the two successive defeats but we are here to manage difficult situations. We make a terrible regular season, perhaps the best in the history of the organization but we have the information to overcome all the problems and to be ready. “.
