The coach of Olympiacos, Carlos Carvalhal, spoke at the Press Conference of the match against Panathinaikos at Leoforos, following the end of the match for the round of the “16” of the Greek Cup.
In detail what the Portuguese coach said:
Are you concerned about goals from set pieces?
It is true that in the previous game, there were several set pieces and this is something we are trying to correct through training.
We saw your lineup without Fortounis and Podence. What was your plan?
Our plan was to line up the players who were fresher and with more energy, because we had a strong match a few days ago. So we chose players who were rested and more prepared, and I think it was effective because we had a good first half, but following that, we had to make substitutions and there is an explanation for these.
