Bartzokas: We Are Not Looking for Another Montero, We Need a Good Guard

Olympiacos head coach Giorgos Bartzokas explained what kind of player the club is looking for to fill the gap left by Yan Montero. Bartzokas said that trying to find another Montero would end in failure. The club stated that it is looking for a very high-quality player rather than one with specific attributes.

Olympiacos will host Red Star tomorrow at Sunel Arena. The match starts at 21:15 and will be broadcast on Novasports Prime.

Bartzokas announced that Evan Fournier has returned to the team. He said the player still has a slight pain in his shoulder, but has been training for the last two days and will be on the court. Bartzokas, who noted that John Konchar has adapted well to the new system, said the American player will play tomorrow and get minutes. He stressed that Konchar is a team-oriented player who does not disrupt the team's style of play.

Bartzokas said the player the club seeks will not be chosen solely based on individual play or shooting and passing skills. The club said it is looking for a quality player who can be integrated into the team's philosophy. He added that they do not want to make a hasty decision, and that if a suitable player is found and wants to come, they will complete the transfer.

Reminding that Olympiacos has not lost any match in the Greek league, Bartzokas stressed that they will be competitive in every game. He said they are also in contact with clubs in America, Europe and Australia.
