Having the foot stuck in Gazi, Olympiacos leveled Real Madrid in the SEF and made the first of the three necessary steps to qualify for Euroleague Final Four.
At the end of the match, Alec Peters stressed that despite the fact that the prevalence is important, the match that will determine the qualification is Game 2.
Among other things, the American stressed that Olympiacos respects Real Madrid, stressed that the step-up should be in the second match to make it 2-0, while closing with a reference to the team spirit prevailing to the reds.
In detail what he said:
“We don’t have much to celebrate, but we will get the victory and get ready for Friday.
Game 2 shows how the series will roll. Especially when you play against a team full of players who have done it again. Real has been better than us in recent years on the post-season. They will be ready in Game 2 and things will be different. We should be ready. In the play-offs you play every 48 hours. We will do the things we need and we will be ready because they will come prepared.
A week ago we came for training and we didn’t think we were all. The energy went up because players returned. It gives you energy when you look around and you see the whole team. It seemed today how fresh and ready we were for Game 1.
They have experience roster. The match will not roll the same way. We need to do step-up. We have to do what we did and 1-2 things better. We have to get ready tomorrow. To rest, to return and the atmosphere be even better. Real is a good team, it has players who have won trophies. We respect them. We will play our game and then no one can win us.
We have to play as a team. We saw in video how good our defense can be. That’s where our identity is based. We see that we can mark this player as a team, this move. We need to help each other. We did it tonight and we have to do it on Friday.
I have my routine. But I keep it for me. Sometimes I change it. In your career you find the recipe for what works for you. “
