Olympiakos: In France for a double battle

Olympiakos is set to play Paris away on Tuesday for the Euroleague, with concerns about player availability.

Olympiakos is preparing to face Paris in an away match in the Euroleague on March 10, following their departure from Greece on March 9. Coach Giorgos Bartzokas addressed questions regarding the condition of Sasa Vezenkov, indicating that his participation in the upcoming games against Paris and Monaco remains uncertain and will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Notably, team members Thomas Walkup and Giannoulis Larentzakis will not be joining the squad for this trip.

Bartzokas commented on the challenge posed by Paris, highlighting that they play at one of the fastest tempos in the league, reminiscent of Valencia's style. He noted that Paris tends to make quick plays within the first five seconds of possession, which could allow opponents to regain control of the game if not managed properly. Hence, Bartzokas emphasized the need for strategic play and maximizing their possibilities to secure a win.

The uncertainty surrounding Vezenkov's fitness could significantly impact Olympiakos's performance, as he has been a key player for the team. The coach's cautious approach reflects the importance of being adequately prepared, not only physically but also mentally, to face the dynamic playstyle of their opponents in this critical stage of the Euroleague.
