Great win, great guys and a journey everyone Olympiacos enjoys…
You never get bored of this team, people came back, supported it, enjoyed it and Pantelis Diamantopoulos writes about Bartzokas and his players who started jumping on the floor again, being happy for each other and enjoying the moments
Olympiacos and Milan enjoyed their trophies on Sunday. In these cases, most people expect “empty” teams, teams that can’t play properly. Regardless of the outcome, I must first write that the two gladiators were not like that. They have shown their defensive virtues and that is very important. You play attack with the talent, appetite, and aura to become a guy. They play defense with courage, self-respect, and selfishness. And those are very important elements for a team at this level.
From then on, the Piraeus team, which after a long time had so many people next to them (atime koronoie), proved that conquering the cup picked them up as a whole. They’ve had a long time to bottom out for each other. For a long time everyone screamed from the bench. I repeat, of course, the cup and the people played a role in that! The Italians were good. They were dynamic in the rear and tolerable in the front. But once the game reached its home stretch, they bet on intensity and determination. Passion, soul and a night that ended with a smile after being excluded from football for the Olympics.
The five of the cup
It was a given that wood would… fall on the heap. Especially at the beginning. The Italians have diversified their philosophy. It’s not his team “what we put and what we eat”. Messina hardened the defense, try to start from there. In five minutes, the Greek team had 4 points with … blood. Olympiacos had the upper hand at one point and he should have struck with anger. And that point, of course, was Fal’s presence. The Italians shot poorly at first, but they couldn’t take advantage of that. The French were not fed consistently and the guests managed to enforce their rhythm through the defense. The original image of Olympiakos was confused. Armani wasn’t angry, but she played more patiently.
Poor harvest and Messina’s rotation to meet the needs of a team that had stopped the pickers on a large scale. Sloukas fought it, but it fell against a wall. Vezenkov eventually provided a solution, ‘waking up’ the stadium, but as long as the Italians’ returns were perfect and they could control the tempo, the situation couldn’t be changed. He had to tremble again. And he came.
Olympiacos have a problem. to slow him down qualitatively. Then his players are not only driven into the offensive, but also lose pressure in defense. This is how the Lombards were read, only one successful recipe ruined their history. Bartzokas collected the situation at the end of the half with the…five that won the cup! Fal has just invaded Martin’s house to threaten his closest opponents. Olympiakos found energy in defence, made life difficult for the Italians and improved the situation. Okay, halftime 25:27, goal score… ten minutes, but the defense has changed!
Mustaches bent…
Datome’s basket at the end of the third quarter with 4 ” for the end and a foul to be given by the team would be the reason for either waking up or for … the final. Olympiakos had scored 39 points in 30 minutes. Armani pushed him harder than any other opponent. No fatigue, no numbness, no relaxation. Piraeus fought against it, but the Italians wanted to “answer” for their defeat in the forum. Bartzokas saw his players hit a basket harder as they ate.
However, they went to the contacts, they did not avoid approaching. With the three mustaches (Sergio, Meli and Datome), on the other hand, Messina looked for the constant threat but at the same time saw them lose and … goals with an empty goal. McKissick was… disguised as Dorsey and Sloukas. The two individuals did not blackmail efforts and every time the American “cut” they found him.
Olympiakos entered this match for the first time before 33′ and it was Sloukas turn to whet the appetite of the Italians. Costas’ bombs “changed the lights” and their psychology. In defense, everyone was “bitten” and as soon as Messina dared to push and open the field, the cracks that brought either fouls or nails came. The team that scored 7 points in the first ten minutes scored 28 points in the fourth minute. And he did it all in the Heraklion final…
You’ll never get bored!
i know one Regardless of the results, this team never gets bored at the Olympics. He plays to win, he brings passion, heart and if he’s supposed to lose, ok he will lose but the nonsense is reduced every time. The team was missing in their world and the people in the team!
Those who were in Peace and Friendship enjoyed a good match, two teams that will make the playoffs, two sets that can duel for the four, but above all they enjoyed an effort that did not stop. Even when everything went wrong, when the ball didn’t come in, when Armani saw the rhythm, when the shapes didn’t come out. Bartzokas and players insisted. And the stubborn wins. Olympiacos wins. And it goes on…
