Bartzokas: «We missed all the critical shots»

Olympiacos fought, but failed to get the win against Barcelona. 

"A game against Barcelona is always difficult", the 'red & whites' coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, got to comment. "Tonight, we simply needed something more. I think that we did not play up to our potential. We played one level down. We needed more players to have a good night in order to win. Despite having a lot of talent and we managed to balance the game for 3 or 4 times, we were trailing by 3 and we missed all the critical shots. Those shots that would have put the pressure on Barcelona. We missed them all and that's why we did not deserve anything better. We needed some big shots, but more than that, we had to be more compact in our defense since the first minute and not just in the last quarter. Also, our main line-up, twice, both in the first and the third quarter, played without concentration or good execution, we made unforced errors, we did not foul to stop easy lay-ups and hence lost the game".
