Bartzokas: «An amazing atmosphere»

The gym in Patras was packed not only with Promitheas fans, but also those of Olympiacos. 

The coach of the 'red & whites', Giorgos Bartzokas, spoke about it, following the win over the local team. "The arena was so full for the first time. I hope the fans that came to watch the game, enjoyed it. Promitheas is a very good this year, their results in Europe speak of that, as do their total results. They have lots of offensive talent and they try to play very aggressive on the ball in defense as well. We had played very demanding games on Tuesday and Thursday. We also had to travel, came back on Friday. In essence, we only had one practice session to prepare this game. We wanted to delegate the time and that Goss wouldn't have to play because he suffered a minor sprain during the game vs Bayern. We also wanted for our players not to get really tired. We managed that. When Promitheas came close, Walkup made 3 or 4 good decisions and we quickly got a wide margin again and had the opportunity to allocate the time. Good luck to coach Papatheodorou and to Promitheas. I want to say again that the atmosphere here was amazing, by both our fans and those of Promitheas".
