In detail, the presser by the Olympiacos manager at Novasports:
Whether this has been one of the hardest encounters: “We knew the match would unfold like that because we were to play against a side with quality players. These were the most difficult 72 hours of mine as a coach because we had so many unpleasant surprises. I have many things to say about my players’ dedication. They fought hard and displayed a fighting spirit. It was impossible for us to do a perfect match but we did the first step “.
About Camara: “We played against a tough opponent and that was their third, while this was our first. They made us fall back to claim the win. I believe that we will be able to score in Azerbaijan and win the tie, but we expect them to make it hard for us“.
On how he will solve the midfielders’ challenge: “I have many ideas in my mind; we have to work hard on that. We know that Neftçi has also problems. All teams have problems and we will have to solve our own”.
On Tzolakis: “Since day one I met him, I knew he would take steps ahead thanks to his quality; I had no doubt he would become the youngest goalkeeper of Olympiacos. We know how he behaves every day. The fact he rose up to the demands of this level shows he is to become a great goalkeeper. Mathieu plays because he has both the experience and quality; Tzolakis plays because he’s got the quality“.
