Bartzokas: The Market Is Limited, Good Players Do Not Leave Their Teams

Olympiacos will host Dubai at Sunel Arena tomorrow. The match will be broadcast live on Novasports Prime at 21:15. Both teams are level with 7-3 records, and the game carries great importance.

Giorgos Bartzokas spoke about the Dubai game and squad matters at the Media Day event. He acknowledged that their performance in the away win over Marousi was not good. Noting that the Greek league is very competitive this season, Bartzokas said the victory was not a wake-up call. He said a rest day in the schedule is mandatory and that all teams play at a similar intensity.

Bartzokas confirmed that Tyler Dorsey will not be with the team tomorrow. Reminding that his suspension ends on November 15, the head coach avoided going into detail and said they would wait until after the match to discuss it. He stressed that they want better structure and execution against Dubai and do not want to make hasty decisions.

On squad reinforcements, Bartzokas said the transfer market is limited. Noting that good players do not easily leave their teams, the head coach explained that players coming from America need an adjustment period, while transferring from Europe is difficult. He added that Olympiacos' standard is high and it is hard for a new player to have an immediate impact.
