Bozikas: “For 4 years we have brought Olympiacos to the top of Europe – this team never gives up”

THE George Bozikas was hosted at Eok webradio And he talked about this year’s winning championship with Olympiacos and how the team rallied by making three consecutive wins.

At the same time, he referred to the Angelopoulos brothers and how they managed the difficult situation while apoptosis Kostas Papanikolaou.

In detail what he said:

For gathering in the racing track: “I think we managed the situation very well and the administration and coach played very importantly played on the race and how to change our image on the pitch rather than anything else.”

To protect the administration from extraterrestrials: “‘We were all on the same page and we all wanted to help the players and the team calm first and then concentrate on the race.”

For the “transformation” of Olympiacos from the first game of the final to the second and the pressure management: “In terms of pressure, pressure has never played any role in our positive or negative performance. Everyone in Olympiacos is used to fighting under pressure. Many players have come for this reason. Evan Fournier had stated that he left the NBA to feel this pressure and chase titles. So those who are at Olympiacos know how to work under such conditions. Beyond that, I would go back. There were some days that took place before the first game, when we had returned from the Final Four. Until the finals started, it was the first time they started immediately. All other times there were some other games and we were more easily adorned. It is reasonable to have emptiness and spiritual fatigue. Sometimes we wonder why players may be tired. Tired of the biologists who fight for the paycheck. Players make their hobby a profession. It is a very simple approach.

In essence, it takes a lot of spiritual gifts to stay focused on high performance for as long as it takes at least in our own seasons. It is an effort that has begun in August and we have arrived May with too many psychological ups and downs. However, we always react to bad appearances. We have shown that we are a team with a very right locker room and very right bases. Players have a personality and character who in the difficult ones come forward without looking for excuses. They blame either their teammates or the coach. After the first game the reaction of most players was what it needed. They came to the coach’s office, they did their self -criticism and we all closed the door of the locker room and we promised that we would not lose this title. “

For racing series compared to Final Four: “The fact that the first team of regular duration has never defeated Euroleague should concern those responsible. It is not possible for the best team to have no advantage later. You are invited to fight in a final phase game that can all happen. Everything has a logic. To be honest, we were not 100% ready against Monaco. “

For multiple injuries in the season: “In the last 20 days, seven of the eight players were injured. We had very serious injuries. Until the last day we didn’t know what roster we would fight. All the players agreed to play with injections and risked their health. It was in nature impossible to present completely ready. “

For the importance of the Angelopoulos and Papanikolaou speeches: “The team has proven too many times that it will not give up. We have heard quite a few negative comments on the defeats. In sports there is no failure, there is only a question of giving up or not trying. This team has never given up. It is always in the attempt to claim titles. We have brought Olympiacos to the top of Europe for four years. We have gone through a lot of goals. Olympiacos has broken a lot of records in the season.

The majority of the players assumed its responsibilities. This team has shown that it is very knit. Each player also fights for others. This year we deserved to end this year with this title. During the year we showed that we are the most stable team in Europe. “
