Game 3 pre-game quotes: Monaco vs. Olympiacos
Articolo
4 Minuto di lettura
AS Monaco head coach Sasa Obradovic:
"It is this third game that we will absolutely have to win. I hope we will be mentally ready. The domestic success this weekend is good preparation before this crucial week against Olympiacos. At the moment, our practices are reduced, so I am happy with what I saw in our last game."
George Bartzokas, Olympiacos Piraeus head coach:
"In the first game, we did everything great, and in the second one, we did everything wrong. The thing is that our tactic was more or less the same. But we played bad on every level. We were not considerate, we were not patient, and we did not play with our instinct. We did everything wrong, that's why we are running to gain back the home-court advantage. We have a specific game style. If we play with our style, we have many chances to win."

Olympiacos Piraeus-Real Madrid | PO Game 2 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
George Printezis, Olympiacos Piraeus forward:
"So far, we had a very good season, but that's not enough. Playoff games are tricky and special. We really want to win tomorrow. In order to make it, we must play harder and find rhythm, especially on offense. Of course, we have to play good on defense, as well. Personally, I believe that the most important thing in this series of games is to keep improving your game and show something different every time."
