Bartzokas was asked if this important for him and he explained that it’s not a first: “For me, it is not important [to play against Olympiacos on Thursday] because this was four years ago. I also played against Olympiacos with Barcelona last season, so whatever happens, happens. I am now focused on my team and we need to play much, much better if we want to win over there.”

As for the game against Zvezda, he added: “We threw away 20 minutes in the first half, playing without patience, and we didn’t stop anyone on defense. We needed to have a different approach, especially on defense. I think we managed to do this in the third quarter. We were much, much better on defense and found some good opportunities to score. Finally, we won easily, but as I said, our approach in the first 20 minutes was very bad for us”.
