Vezenkov: "We must continue with the same intensity"

Olympiacos will be facing Monaco tomorrow (10/01, 19:00 CET), aiming to continue their winning streak.

“We have definitely had some bad outcomes, but we got together in the last two games and played very good basketball indeed, however, we must not take anything for granted”, was what Sasha Vezenkov had to say, asked where he thinks his team’s impressive game style during the past few weeks is due. And he continued with the following: “We know we have two very difficult games ahead, we need to continue with the same intensity in defense, we must continue passing the ball. We must continue doing what helps us win. But like I already said, we first have to play Monaco, a very difficult team that wants to win and protect their home court”.

About what is going to decide the win against Monaco, he said: “We have to match up their energy, to challenge each play 100%, to contest every ball and win them. Monaco is athletic, we have to impose the tempo and play our style of game. It is certain that Mike James is dominant, but it’s not just him, Okobo has also been playing amazing. They have quality in every position, so it’s going to take team work to win this game”.
