From then on, the Spanish full-back emphasized that the “red and whites” should be careful in defense and that if they are focused then they will qualify for the groups.
“I am excited to play with Olympiakos in Europe. It’s never too late even though I’m a little old. I have ambitions and expectations, to pass this round as well, to go to the groups and have a very good year in Europe. When the defense is solid you feel much safer, you are closer to victory and qualification. It is important that we perform well in defence, have focus and belief in the plan and find the opportunities up front. It is important not to concede goals and to take advantage of the opportunities. If we are focused in the two games and with a good performance we will be close to qualifying“, the Spanish defender initially stated.
On whether age matters in modern football: “I don’t think it matters. Especially for me who is 33. I feel strong mentally and physically. I am at a good age and have more appetite and ambition than I did in my twenties. I said about age because I hadn’t had the chance to play in Europe in previous years».
