Alimpijevic: We Must Repeat Our Approach From the Olympiacos Game

Besiktas will travel to Virtus Bologna for the second game of the EuroLeague double game week. Head coach Dusan Alimpijevic and Metecan Birsen spoke to the press before the match.

Alimpijevic reminded that they will take the court in Bologna just 48 hours after the Olympiacos game. Noting that Virtus has a passionate fan base, the coach stressed that his team is one of the fastest-playing sides in EuroLeague and that their early offensive actions have been very effective.

Stating that they need to keep their energy levels high to slow down the opponent's pace, Alimpijevic said the good approach shown against Olympiacos must also be applied in Bologna.

Birsen, for his part, drew attention to the second leg of the double game week. Reminding that there is a strong atmosphere in home games, the player said that as a team they want to stay together and keep their on-court communication intact. Birsen added that this must be achieved in order to add one more win to the season's standings.
