Focused on the derby with Panathinaikos, he presented himself through statements by Huang Inbom. The South Korean midfielder emphasized that his team is ready to win in a very big match in order to get “revenge” for the result of the first round, while he did not fail to refer to Olympiakos’ poor tradition in derbies in the last year .
Finally, Huang wanted to make a promise to the world of Olympiakos, emphasizing that as long as he is in the team he will give 100%.
For the derby with Panathinaikos:
“All I’m thinking about is how we’re going to win this game. It is a “must win” match, especially in “Karaiskakis” we have to beat Panathinaikos. We need to be very focused on the game, the tactics and the preparation we have done. Let’s play our own game, following our strategy and then it won’t be so difficult to win. We have a lot of good quality players and like I said if we play our game we will win”
For the first round match:
“I haven’t asked them, but I’m sure they remember it. We all remember it, the whole Olympiakos family remembers what happened there. There was nothing we could do after that game, however now is the time to get ‘revenge’ for it. We deserved to win there, but it didn’t happen. This gives us one more motivation. Actually you don’t need extra motivation when you play against Panathinaikos. It’s a big match, a big derby. We’re excited for the game and want to show who we are and what kind of team we’ve become in the intervening months.”
On the fact that they haven’t won a derby yet:
“Not only me, but all of us are full of motivation to win this derby. We shouldn’t feel any extra pressure or burden for the fact that we haven’t won a derby yet because at big clubs the pressure is normal. We are really motivated to win a derby for the first time this season. Me, my teammates, the coaching staff, the people, we’re all excited.”
On his coexistence with Embila in the midfield:
“First of all, this is a fantastic player and an even better person. I really like him as a player and as a person. When I’m on the pitch with him I’m really comfortable because he knows what he’s good at and he knows what I’m good at. We understand each other very well and I’m sure we can do even better if we keep pushing each other. I’m very happy to have these types of players next to me because they help me as I help them and I feel lucky that we are partners on the pitch”
His promise to the world of Olympiakos:
“I can promise that we will give what we have and what we don’t have and we will show how much we want to win. I can also promise personally that I will give everything, as I have been doing since I joined the team. In this kind of game giving your all may not be enough, but you have to do it and play well. I am sure that we will all play for the badge on the shirt and give everything. We’ll see what happens, but I’m sure it will be a good game.”.
