The first round of the Euroleague is over, and the situation that marked the beginning of the season is the conflict between Fenerbahçe's coach, Sarunas Jasikevičius, and Olympiakos' coach, Giorgos Barkokas.
Last night, Fener defeated the Athenians (82:71) at home, and after the game there was a conflict, when Barcokas and Jasikevičius started to shake hands.
Then the Lithuanian pointed his finger at his colleague, and then Barcokas also reacted, so the basketball player of Olympiakos, Nigel Williams-Goss, stood between the two. Soon, the other players approached to prevent further succubus.
After the match, Barcokas and Jasikevicijus talked about what happened in front of the cameras.
"I would like to say something about the behavior of the opposing coach. Whatever happened during the match, I had one technical foul. I tried to give him a hand at the end of the match. He has no respect at all. He attacked me. I just want everyone knows that," said Jorgos Barcokas.
Jasikevicius also had an explanation.
"This is the second time that the end of the line has taught me how to be a coach. It happened for the first time when he was in Khimki. I will not let any coach tell me what I have to do with my team. That is unacceptable," Jasikevičius was angry.
In the next round, in the Istanbul derby, Fenerbahce plays away against Efes (October 10, 19:30 p.m.), while Olympiakos plays in Athens against Zalgiris (October 11, 20:15 p.m.).
