Energy and passion. These are the keywords for Olympiacos, as Giannis Sfairopoulos said in the pre-game press conference ahead of a match that he characterized as… “Final of Finals.”
“It is the final of finals against a team that knows us and we know it very well,” said Sfairopoulos. “We have to do what we know and can to bring the match on our terms. We know the opponent’s capabilities and its strengths. We want to play with teamwork on offense and take them off their game on defense. We are also expecting the fans to boost the players’ effort”.
“The first thing I want is passion and energy,” he added. “We know how Efes has played and how they haven’t. For example they haven’t played zone for a long period of time. We expect them to play zone press, something that we know. There are no big surprises. We have to do the little things right. I think that the second half of the fourth match was our best. In the playoffs you have to improve your performance. The team that improves during the game will prevail”.
