Bartzokas: «We played a serious game»
The earnings for Olympiacos were double in Rhodes, because they not only beat Kolossos with ease, but also Giorgos Bartzokas had the chance to allocate time.
“We played a serious game”, was what the ‘red & whites’ coach initially said before adding: “We meant to utilize all the players, have them participate in both defense and offense without putting any extra pressure on them, because we have had an especially loaded schedule. We played four games in seven days. At the same time, we got to also give a little time to Brazdeikis also, who was coming back from an injury. Under that prism, we are satisfied because everyone was serious and we built a big score difference in the game. It’s never easy to play in Rhodes. The game is always hiding traps, we all remember last year’s game. Of course, Perrantes’ absence was very important, because he’s a facilitator that utilizes everyone in the game. Maybe that’s what gave us an advantage. I wish good luck to the coach and to Kolossos”.
