Olympiacos made an impressive appearance in Munich, celebrating a comfortable 96-71 victory over Bayern, for the 6th matchday of the Euroleague!
After the end of the match, the coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokaswas placed among other things on the possibility of acquiring a player, stressing that the team will move for someone who can help and not for someone who is asking for social media.
What the coach of Olympiakos said:
“We controlled the match defensively and offensively exactly as we wanted. Especially on defense. With the return of Thomas Walkup, Evan Fournier and Shaquille McKissick to the EuroLeague it is easy for us to manage the situation. We are very happy for the victory, against a team that we really appreciate. We respect her and I want to say that the whole event in this amazing stadium is a big show for the Euroleague. I am also grateful for our fans. Their support was amazing. We wanted to win for them too”.
“The truth is that we are constantly looking at the market because this is our job. For example, Bayern took Dinwiddie and already has a very good roster. The teams have great depth in their roster as we are in a new era of the Euroleague. Playing 90 games a season you need a lot of players. For us it was first of all important to see our players all playing together, because until now we had a lot of absences.
We have to make decisions, watching our games and training sessions, when we are all together. This is the most important thing. We had Papanikolaou out, as well as Keenan Evans. This means that we can’t make hasty decisions about additions, since we don’t have a clear picture of what we already have.
I know that the discussion in our country is that another scorer should come. So we have Fournier, Dorsey and Vezhenkov and we still need a scorer.
OK, it’s a perspective, but we scored 100 points. I think I know my job. I’m not against signing any player, but I would sign a player that I, the coaching staff and the whole team, believe will help us in the games to come. Not someone who wants the media, or social media”.
