His players Olympic They returned to the SEF to train in the second match with Real Madrid on Friday night (25/4/2025), with George Barzoka To emphasize that he is waiting for a reaction from the Madrilen.
Olympiacos coach George Bardzokas argued that his players would have to show the same seriousness in order to make Real Madrid 2-0 against the Euroleague Final Four.
At the same time, the Greek coach made it clear that he has not yet ended up in the 12th for tomorrow’s match.
In detail, George Bardzokas said:
About how much better waiting for Real to be in Game 2: “Much better. Another talent. He can shoot better. He will play with selfishness, perhaps with less ‘must.’
I don’t have much to tell you. We talked last night. Have been a few hours. Our approach is the same. The opponent is very strong. After the good half of the first thing we made defensively-because we were not just as good-and we made a difference of 10-15 points, we lost the next two quarters. This is reasonable because Real would be loud. It is a very difficult game that is coming and I am not saying it to draw attention to players and world. If we get it it will be important and we have to play with the same motivation we had in the first match. “
For whether he expects more difficult to play: “It will prove to be. Now we will have a meeting with the players. It is a few things we can do, but mostly spiritually. Our audience does not expect anything easy. To enter as if they are 0-0 and fight every possession.”
As to whether he intends to make changes to the 12th in view of Game 2: “Many times you have to give opportunities to players who deserve and didn’t. We will decide the 12th after tomorrow’s workout. I don’t even think about my mind.
Life always overturns what you are planning to do and we will wait for tomorrow. One may have a last -minute problem, we will see. However, there will be little changes or no, maybe it is 1/12 or 2/12, if it is to make a change. There are always small problems, but not something capable of leaving someone out. “
For the Real bench who did not offer Game 1 many and whether Olympiacos generally outperforms talent: “It has a lot of quality and the bench of Real, I believe it.
As to whether he waits for something different from Real to Game 2 and if he was taught something from Game 1: “You’re always taught from every game. If you have open eyes and ears, you have to draw some conclusions.
But because there is a big sample of matches and Real has played 60 games, just like us, it’s not easy to see new things. Many times, you see a feeling close to how compact a team is. Real comes from a good season with consecutive wins. In general I have nothing to change in what I am thinking. I have great respect for Real and it will be very difficult tomorrow. “
