Bulgarian superstar in European basketball Alexander Vezenkov said that the team whose colors he defends - Olympiacos, is ready for the new season, which has already started, reported sportal.bg.
In a special Euroleague video dedicated to Sasho and the Greek champion, the 30-year-old winger also returned to the unfortunate semi-final match of the Final Four against Monaco that Olympiacos lost against Monaco, which once again deprived the native player of the dream of triumph in the most prestigious club basketball competition on the Old Continent.
"It was a bad match, almost for the entire team, including me.
It was also discouraging for me, because when The semi-final came, I felt at my best. It was a very bad match," Vezenkov said, referring to the match against Monaco in Abu Dhabi.
"But we can't turn back time. This is my rule, my philosophy, my motto - that's why we have to keep fighting, pushing.
I think you just have to be ready for these matches, to go out and play. Even if we've been talking for days, analyzing, in the end it's a team sport and you win or lose, the other team is playing too. Monaco performed great. Fenerbahce was the best team in the end and won the league. In 99.9% of cases, the best team in these four days wins the trophy. This is the end of it," continued the Bulgarian winger.
"We're just getting started. We can't think about May or anything else. We just have to go out on the field, be healthy. That is, we have to enjoy every game. We have new faces, I think that will help. Very athletic guys. They bring us energy on and off the field. But for them, this is also a new team, they will need some time, but I think they will fit the team perfectly. We have kept our core, we are ready for this season.
We just have to have more fun, play, let's say, more relaxed and we will see what we are capable of and where our limits are,", Vezenkov concluded.
