Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos: 'Whoever expects an easy game, they are making a mistake.'
Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach
"Whoever expects an easy game, they are making a mistake. Villeurbanne beat Efes, and last night they were leading by 10 in the third quarter against Maccabi. They only lost at the end. There is no indifferent game in the EuroLeague. They are an athletic team, they have experienced guards, they have been playing very well lately and we expect a tough game. It's not going to be procedural by any means."
Giannoulis Larentzakis, Olympiacos player
"Efes is very talented. They had quite a few players on a good night. We did not play up to our usual standards defense-wise. I think that played a decisive role. We definitely want to win tomorrow. For us, it's a very important game and there's only one outcome, winning. All teams have quality and talent. The same applies to Villeurbanne. We saw that they almost beat Maccabi on the road last night. The game demands we are serious, focused and that we play the kind of basketball we know how to play and have shown as much up to now."
