THE Olympic he took the first step towards qualifying for his playoffs Europa Leaguewinning with a score of 1-0 Genk thanks to his goal Kostas Fortunis at 22 seconds.

One of the protagonists of this victory was Panagiotis Retsos, who made several critical interventions keeping the zero in the rear. After the match, the Greek centre-back spoke to the “red and white” channel about his own performance, the quality the team now has but also about the qualification that he has not yet cleared.

Panagiotis Retsos stated in detail on the Olympiakos channel:

“It was a very nice game, up and down. These are the games we want to play, these are the games the team deserves to play. But nothing is over yet. We have to be strong in the second game as well because it will be difficult too. To tell the truth, I expected us to score more goals. We deserved it, we have a very good team. We are a tighter team, that is very important. We have all contributed to this and we deserve to have a better course than last year.”

For wearing a captain’s armband: “Just like the first time 6-7 years ago it is an honor for me to wear this armband. This is the least. The most important thing was the victory. We deserved it and we move on to the next match.”

On the zero in the defense against Genk and if it helps the team in its psychology: “Of course it gives psychology. It is more important to even bring a draw than to lose. In Genk we have to go fight and go for the win”.
