The good performance of Olympiakos and the support of the crowd that led to the victory over Genk with 1-0 spoke at the press conference Diego Martinez.
The coach of the “red and whites” emphasized that it is important for his team to keep a clean sheet in the return match against Belgium, he added that the chances of qualification are divided, while he closed with a reference to the footballers who stood out.
Analytically:
The victory of Olympiakos: “We thank our people first. He played an important role for us to win. They helped us a lot especially in the minutes when we ‘suffered’ and got tired. They gave us courage to continue. I really liked our competitive spirit, personality and fighting spirit and we had to take advantage of Karaiskakis’ energy. We had the best chances with Biel and Masura. We had wrong passes and a period where we were confused” .
The rematch: “I hope a result in our favor and zero again in defense. We need to improve several things. To give duration to time and moments. There were times when we made mistakes. We also had Carvalho’s chance. We were playing against a very good opponent who can make it difficult for any team. In these phases of the qualifiers you may have done 50% but you either pass or you don’t pass”.
Fortune’s Problem: “The team gave everything. It’s not just Fortunis. It was also Mandi and Retsos who got tired. We wanted to exploit all the players’ potential. Masouras is great. Giorgos can also play as a central striker. He had the energy, the will and the power. Alexandropoulos did this too. Both can play multiple positions. For the last 15 minutes we needed help. This change was needed and Giorgos could score”.
