Bartzokas: “All players are available to us and we just have to find our form”
Olympiacos won the game in France against Villeurbanne and Giorgos Bartzokas spoke after the end of the game and stressed that the team just needs to find its form.
Olympiacos prevailed against France, defeating Villerban 85-73. Giorgos Bartzokas spoke after the victorious game.
After expressing his admiration for the atmosphere created by the French fans, the Greek coach spoke about the game and stressed that his team just needs to get into shape. Of course, Mustafa Fal couldn’t be missed, who dominated the field with 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 blocks.
What Bartzokas said in detail:
For the Villeurbanne world: “Let me express my feelings about the great atmosphere in this new fantastic stadium. At a time when Villeurbanne is struggling in the Euroleague, they had this crowd that really supported the local team at all games. It’s a good example of how we should treat sports”.
For the game: “For us it was a game that we absolutely had to win. It’s the first round and we had a game like this. We had to deal with that pressure, play as a team and play the way we should to win a game like that. We were ahead.” We played good team basketball throughout the game, we passed a lot, we had 24 assists. We had players who helped us at different points in the game.
Of course I have to mention Fal who had 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 blocks. He helped us a lot to get the win. Of course, other players also contributed to controlling the game, even if we had some difficult moments. I can remember Parris Lee’s buzzer-beater that consisted of a three-pointer and a foul… Moments like that can change mentality and give confidence to a team trying to get back in the game. We are very happy about the victory. We still have an away game against Alba next week to finish the first round and we are optimistic.
Our team now has all the players available and we just need to find our form and play as a team the way we want. I wish Villerban coach Gianmarco Posseco good luck and of course all the best at Villerban.
For case: “Since joining our team two years ago, Mouss has obviously been one of the main reasons why Olympiacos won every national league title and reached two Final Fours. We made it to the finals last year and Moose made a huge contribution to that, not only with the way he plays every game, but also the way he thinks about basketball. He doesn’t play selfish. He plays for victory and his team. It’s hard to imagine someone making 9 interceptions, but for a player with a height of 6’2″ it was even harder to dish out that many assists. It is the whole package and it is very important. At the same time, he is humble and a very important part of our team.”

Version Forbes announced its annual ranking of the world’s most expensive sports teams.
NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys, estimated to be worth $13 billion, has led the pack for the ninth year in a row.
While NBA Golden State Warriors ranked second with a valuation of $11 billion, another representative of American football, Los Angeles Rams (10.5 billion), was in the top three.
The top 10, as last year, includes only American teams from the NFL and NBA. There are seven NFL clubs in the top 10 overall, which Forbes analysts attribute to the league’s large-scale television contracts.
Among football clubs, Real Madrid remains the most expensive – the Spanish giant ranked only 20th with a value of $6.75 billion.
Also in the top 50 are Manchester United (24th, 6.6 billion), Barcelona (42nd, 5.65 billion) and Liverpool (48th, 5.4 billion). In total, only four football clubs are represented in the top 50 rankings.
Formula 1 representatives also returned to the list – Ferrari (26th place) and Mercedes (34th).

On December 20-21, Niko-Basket lost two home matches to Dnepr and Zaporozhye in the eighth round of the Super League and therefore finished the calendar year in 9th place in the standings with 4 wins in 14 matches.
Head coach of the team after the defeat of Zaporozhye (67:78) Valentin Berestnev He listed the reasons for the team’s unsuccessful results as follows:
“Counting the first, third and fourth quarters, we won by one point each. We lost the entire game in the second quarter. We had a 7-point lead in the second quarter, but we finished with minus 9. We lost the fight, lost the rebounds, made childish mistakes. This caused the opponent to get over the shock of being behind 12:19 and the game turned in another direction.
We could not find a leader who could do what Lovings and Lishchina did. Eisa scored almost 30 points per game, surpassing our fourth point.
I would like to thank our fans who supported us until the end. They said warm and kind words to us after the match. This is our first year playing in the Super League. Most of the players have no experience of playing in the Super League: Max (Grischuk), Vitaly (Volodin), Bodya (Likhoy). Zaitsev, Safonov and Garbar have experience. Kabanov has little experience. This is a difficult season for them, which will show who will advance to the Super League level and who will not.
Therefore, I would like to thank our fans once again. There were two alarms today. Yesterday we finished the match three hours later than planned. Despite this, people stayed and supported us. We are very grateful for this support.
We train six times a week, twice a day to improve our game. I believe that we will overcome this situation and have a team that will compete for Super League awards, become a strong middle team and beat everyone at home, just like 10-15 years ago.
Most of the guys have no experience, so mistakes are made. Not technical, tactical. There is a lack of a leader who will take responsibility in difficult times. Now we are looking for such a player in the team. If we can’t find it, we will face three foreign players like most other teams. If our audience likes it.”
