After the game against PAOK, the coach of Olympiacos, Diego Martínez, stated the following at the press conference:
“It is a bad evening for Olympiacos, the team, the players, our fans – on bad nights I’m always the first and on good nights I’m always the last. I’m assuming responsibility, nothing worked out for us and everything worked out for the opponent. We obviously need to get over it quickly, see what mistakes we made, but it is important to get over it because we have an important and difficult game coming up on Thursday.
We will inspect our mistakes to correct and not repeat them, and it is important for us to rise to the challenges again following this bad night. It was a hard blow for us and we are hurt and in pain. But we need to turn these feelings into energy in order to face the upcoming games. Without making any excuses, I take full responsibility, and we need to turn this bad evening into energy and deal with what comes next.
