Pablo Contreras
“When I came to Olympiacos, I knew that demands would be plenty. I am aware of the club’s size, but it is different when experiencing it from within. The fans and my teammates supported me since day one and I want to thank them. Certainly, the campaign seemed easy given the extended final lead in points, but things didn’t develop that easily. Do not forget that we won several matches in the closing minute, something that shows we never quitted fighting for the win in a single match.
Having said that, there have been some changes amidst the season and that affected us for some time. We had to adapt to different styles of play, which I consider to have been the most difficult part of the season. We still have the Cup ahead and I think we are in pretty good shape to win the double”
Avraam Papadopoulos
“I am proud of being a member of Olympiacos family, like all players belonging to this great club. We do live some very beautiful moments and we thank all those who stood by and support the team. Certainly, this has been a peculiar year for the squad, but what I want to say is that we will try to do everything possible, so that the team performs in a manner worthy of the club and suitable to people’s desire. Nevertheless, I think that our teams’ dynamics was evident and we are rightfully championship title holders; we are also obliged to win the next title, and this is what we want do, so that the year ends in the best possible way.
Definitely, it has been a difficult year for me since I suffered a severe injury. Unfortunately, these are the negative aspect of football and the life of a football player; having said that, one has to come out stronger from such injuries and it takes persistence and patience, plus a lot of work. This is the way to achieve anything».
