OUR George Bartzokas had his last training session on Greek soil yesterday and the positive thing for the Greek technician is that he is not facing any issues with his assignment tomorrow against newcomer but ambitious Monaco.

“These are actual games, but you have to be focused and play 100%. Last year’s experience will help us, because many guys have never been to the Final Four before. If we are lucky, we will return from Kaunas with a smile,” Bartzokas emphasized during the departure of the team and added: “The procedure for the teams is known. Those with experience are more willing to help others to not be so concerned about their families and the media, but to prepare to win on Friday. All teams have their own style of play. There are always adjustments, but the philosophy is more or less the same for all teams. Often new players are not ready to understand how things are. It is very important that we are in the Final Four for the second season in a row. We have a big Greek trunk. It’s a great event for the club.”

Upon arrival in Kaunas, Olympiacos faced heavy rain, and in addition to the players and technical staff, there were also members of the Red and White families on the charter.
