On the determining point in the match, he said: “I believe that in the first half we were well set up on the pitch compared to the second half. After the break, however, we seized control of the match, we played very well building on our defensive display, as we have discussed previously and made good use of counter-attacking. It is some time that the squad has started believing in its potential. We have to post a couple of wins more, we will continue working on that as humbly as now, because we still have a lot of work to do in order to achieve that”.
On the fans of Olympiacos, he said: “Saying ‘thank you’ once more would not be enough. However, I really want to extend my thanks to them, because, apart from the satisfaction we offered them tonight, they always stand by our side and they make it look like they are many more than their actual number. We really thank them for that”.
