Olympiacos failed to “lock” the order with the Realwhich reduced to 2-1 by winning 80-72 in front of its world.

Now, the two groups are turning in between Game 4 At “Movistar Arena” (01/05, 22:00), with the “reds” looking for the qualification and their Madrilen to want to bring the series back to the SEF for a fifth match.

In view of the fourth game, the Mateo expressed his confidence that the Bourgeois will come back to his mood George Bardzokastressing that he will prepare his team based on that the Frenchman will fight.

At the same time, he pointed out the elements that the Real has to keep from the Game 3but also what he needs to improve to equalize.

In detail what he said:

For Fournier: “Fournier will play, we are sure he will play, and prepare on the basis of being there. And if it’s not there, it won’t be easier. Yesterday it was not so and they showed that it is a great team that is not based on just one or two players.

Whether or not to play does not matter for preparing the match, but whether or not he is there, we cannot think that Olympiacos is weaker because Fournier is not there. It’s a great team, no matter how you see it, and it has shown this all year with a great consistency. “

For what Real should improve: “Yesterday we played a good defensive game, especially in the second half, with a lot of cooperation between all our players on the court, those on the bench and the fans. This made us feel confident about what we do and helped us win a lot of balls back all over the game, which is not easy for a team that turns so little.

If we intend to play a good game tomorrow, we need to improve even more at all levels, aggressive and defensive. Keep in mind that tomorrow will be more complicated and we have to give to a level close to perfection. “

For the importance of errors in the playoffs: “I always evaluate it by adding mistakes, steals and assists and yesterday it was positive. In the other two games, it wasn’t. The percentages of the two groups are very similar, but the possessions often determine who will shoot more often.

In the 1st race, we shooting 13 times less, not only because of the mistakes, but also because of the possessions we got in the offensive rebound. These are two factors to keep in mind if we want to win Game 4, and there are our chances. “
