Before the 14th round of the EuroLeague, Valencia’s coach, Alex Mumbru, spoke about the upcoming opponent – Olympiacos.
Despite starting the season fantastically with a record of five wins in six games, Valencia, plagued by injuries, faces the Greek Reds. They currently stand at a record of 7-6, having bounced back with two consecutive victories against Crvena zvezda and Asvel after a series of five losses.
“We are heading for an extremely tough away game. They play fantastically, especially in defense. It remains to be seen if Filip Petrusev will play, and there is doubt about the participation of Nigel Williams-Goss due to injury. They play great, especially at home.
They have progressed since the start of the season, and we must, above all, play defensively at a high level to stop their attack. Also, it’s on us to be smart in offense. The team feels much better after two consecutive wins, but we are struggling with injuries, and that hinders us,” said Alex Mumbru.
