Bartzokas and Wright on Crvena Zvezda

Olympiacos traveled to Belgrade, where tomorrow (04/04, 19:00 CET) will be facing off against Crvena Zvezda for the 32nd round of the Euroleague.

"It's imperative that you don't underestimate any Euroleague team, even if they have no actual goals at the moment", the 'red & whites' coach, Giorgos Bartzokas pointed out. "When a team plays without the pressure of the outcome, they play freer. Most teams have a lot of skills and talent. Olympiacos approaches each game with the same seriousness, just as we did last week against Partizan".

When told that the Serbian team will not be playing with a full roster, he said: "I think that all their players are back, like Teodosic and Dos Santos. I think Zvezda is going to be will full capacity tomorrow, but I don't think that any one player will have that much impact. Teodosic has impact, Nedovic scored a lot against Real Madrid. Hanga has been playing very well. Their tall players are good, we cannot just focus on any individual player. We will try to impose our game". 

About the atmosphere the fans of Crvena Zvezda create: "It's a really warm one. Last year we lost there, the year before we won by one point. It's always hard to play against Crvena Zvezda, because their team has quality and the fans add intensity. We don't look at this game as a friendly one". 

On his part, Moses Wright stressed that: "We have to come strong on the floor. We also need to execute well in offense. We know they play an aggressive defense, that's why we must be focused on our plan. Maybe they don't have a chance to qualify for the next phase, but they give it all when they are on the floor. I'm certain our opponent is going to be as hard as it gets".
