Olympiacos prepares for the new EuroLeague season following their championship victory

As the new EuroLeague basketball season approaches, Olympiacos Piraeus is setting its sights on defending its legacy. The team, coming off a title-winning campaign several months ago, is entering the upcoming season with key roster changes, including the notable acquisition of Jean Montero. Forward Sasha Vezenkov expressed a focus on the present, emphasizing that while last year's victory was a dream come true, the team must now fight to establish its success once again.

Head coach Georgios Bartzokas acknowledged the challenge of integrating new talent into the squad. He noted that while the team remains highly talented, a period of transition is required to rebuild the team's chemistry and motivation. Bartzokas praised the capabilities of players like Vezenkov and Montero, highlighting their collective ability to score and facilitate play. The team is currently finalizing its preparations for the season opener, which will be a difficult away match against Baskonia. The focus remains on building the same cohesion in the locker room and on the court that propelled them to their recent European championship.
