In addition to the 1-0 for the “red and whites” there was also good news for Filip Petrusev, who underwent an MRI today and the results did not show anything worrisome.
The Serbian forward, who injured his knee during the first leg of the quarter-final (sprained medial side), did not train and a few hours before the second-leg jam will be decided whether he will play.
The training in Barcelona took place under the eyes of the owners of KAE, Panagiotis and Giorgos Angelopoulos.
“From the beginning, our philosophy was that we came for one game, yesterday’s,” commented Bartzokas and explained: “Now we’re going for the second match.
We never thought about the whole series, or at least that’s what we coaches try to get across to the players.
These series are long, unpredictable and always have twists and turns.
This is what experience and history have shown.”
“We just have to focus on the second game and look to do our best to win,” the Reds’ coach pointed out.
When asked what it means for him that after the “break” there is no big “must” and if he considers the trip to Barcelona already successful, he replied: “I can’t say if it is successful. We are not a touring club. What we want to do is make it to the Final Four, so our mission will be successful if we achieve that. In no case do we want to be complacent. We don’t want to think that we have accomplished our mission.”
“We want to win”, underlined Bartzokas and noted: “We know how difficult it is.
“Barcelona is an amazing team, they have a lot of experience, they have good players in all positions and to win you have to play very well, be focused and it’s not easy at all.”
“The second match is completely different,” said Giannoulis Larentzakis, the 31-year-old guard of Olympiakos, and explained: “We will go in to claim victory again, as if the first match didn’t happen.”
