Bartzokas: «It's difficult for both us and Fener»
Olympiacos travelled to Istanbul determined to make the break in view of the 3rd playoffs game against Fernerbahce (03/05, 19:45 CET).
"We had some good practice sessions, but we had also practiced well before both games with Fener", was the comment Olympiacos' coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, made. "Many times, it is a matter of the day you are having, approach, circumstance, coincidences, the opponent's performance... We have been preparing for one game, tomorrow's one and that's where we are focusing on".
Asked whether there are going to be changes in terms of tactics, he replied: "All coaches make small changes all the time. The same tactics Fenerbahnce used against us in the last game was what they had used in the previous ones we had played, and we had won. I repeat, it is very important for the players to manage the intensity, the stress and the importance of the game. It is obvious that details play a very important role, just like they did in our last game. We did not play well, Feberbahce played very well, and the game was decided at the end in one possession. I expect difficult games, but they are going to be equally difficult for Fener".
