Bartzokas: «We must focus on the day ahead» (vid)

In the media day in view of the home game vs Real Madrid for the 6th Euroleague round, our team's coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, talked about the things Olympiacos must pay attention to in tomorrow's game (29/10, 20:15 CET).

Asked about the characteristics of this season's Real Madrid and what has changed in their group, the Greek coach said: "Everything and nothing... I would say that we are talking about a team that is in good shape right now. They certainly played yesterday afternoon and spent much less energy than we did. And they are a team, that should we take out their performance against Baskonia, where they lost but playing without Campazzo, they have certain characteristics... a team that plays with high intensity, scores a lot and of course is the best team to not allow 2-pointers, thanks to Tavares and Ibaka. On the other hand, they allow some other things and we are called to strike there... And of course, we must focus on the next day, because we lost the game last night, we did not perform well and we have to play again in one day. That's life, you have to be ready to react int he next game".

On his part, Shaquielle McKissic said: "Real Madrid has a very good team, they have impressive players, just like we do, I hope it's a fun game to watch and the atmosphere matches the quality of the game".
