The words of coach Dusko Ivanovic waiting for tomorrow’s match against Olympiacos: “Olympiacos is certainly one of the best teams in the Euroleague, with highly experienced players. The greatest quality of our opponents is that of having a nucleus of players who know each other very well and play by heart. This is certainly an additional difficulty for us, as is the defense on some players like Vezenkov, Dorsey or Fournier: important for us to play carefully, also helped by our fans.”
Nicola Akele on the eighteenth round of the Euroleague: “Olympiacos needs no introduction, they are a strong team with a group of players who have played together for many years, they know each other well. As always, but especially against them, our defensive approach and our mental toughness will be fundamental: against an experienced team we will need the same concentration for 40 minutes.”
