Monaco’s coach, Vassilis Spanoulis was found at the press conference for her Final Four Euroleaguehe stressed that his love for Olympiacos is non -negotiable, but said that for 40 minutes he would have no emotion towards the reds.
Vassilis Spanoulis commented that his children would have the biggest problem during Olympiacos – Monaco, and commented on the game of George Bardzokas’ team.
“My love for Olympiacos is non -negotiable and everlasting. But for 40 minutes there is no feeling. The hardest will be for my children, who are Olympic, but they are also with their dad.
For me it’s always nice to play such games. More important is the journey to get here, many things join a team. For me there is no pressure, you enjoy basketball, you do the simple ones you do all season. Life does not stop in a semifinal. Basketball has a lot of defeats and a few wins, but these wins are great and you are struggling for them all your life.
For me it’s a blessing to be here. And it is good for many players to stay close to basketball after the end of their career, for the good of the sport, “Vasilis Spanoulis said.
In view of the semifinals with the “reds” on Friday night, he was also asked to comment on the differences he may have observed in his opponent, saying: “Basketball changes, it goes ahead. Olympiacos now passes more and moves without the ball. In my time it wasn’t like that, we had another style. The basketball played by Olympiacos is now very attractive, they are doing a great job. “
