Bartzokas «Game 4 is going to be very difficult»

Olympiacos' coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, tried to tone down the atmosphere surrounding the upcoming fourth game with Fenerbahce (05/05, 19.45 CET).

"Usually, when you lose this way, it's mentally agonizing" our team's coach pointed out. "Nevertheless, coaches and players at this level are very experienced in handling emotions. Right now, the teams don't have many opportunities to get that close to a final four. It's something big for them and for us. So, the motivation is huge, the goal is very important, and I would like to take the opportunity and a little bit tone down the expectations and the anticipations in regard to our team. Our team, both now and during the season, has reached its ceiling, we've been playing at peak levels constantly. Each win we get is important. We are going to prepare for tomorrow's game. It takes faith, persistence with our plan and it needs us to manage our emotions. Last night, we were hasty many times, we made hasty decisions and we shouldn't have done so. The game is going to be very difficult, just like it was yesterday".
