Bartzokas: «The game against Efes is extremely demanding»
Olympiacos will be hosting Anadolu Efes at the SEF tomorrow (26/10, 21:00 CET), aiming to his 3rd Euroleague winning game.
“Efes is a team especially talented offence wise”, the ‘red & whites’ coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, pointed out. “They are a team that goes through a transitional period, having changed their coach, but also maintaining core and important players with their roster, and also adding a few new ones. They are seeking to find their id and at the same time, they are trying to stabilize at the level their coach wants. Nevertheless, they have players that know the game well and have strong personalities”.
And he went on to add: “How we defend is going to be very important. We have to be compact with our defense, like we always. It’s a very demanding game, but at least, it’s a game we have been lucky fortunate enough to have three days to prepare, contrary to the previous ones when we only had one”.
Discussing the ‘red & whites’ absentees list, he said: “Sikma will not be playing and also McKissic, everyone else is available and we hope to be in a good day to win this game that we badly want”.
