Martinez: “To build a team not with names, but with attitudes, with attitudes and with values”

Olympiacos will welcome him Fearless on Sunday (27/08) at Georgios Karaiskakis, for the second matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

THE Diego Martinezbut also the Biel they spoke ahead of the match to the Cosmote TV camera. The coach of Piraeus mentioned that it is a difficult match, while he also talked about the transfer moves of the team.

For the preparation and the game against Atromitos:

“Winning is always good and playing well is always our goal. However, every tournament is different and you have to prepare for the next game according to the specifics of each opponent.

I expect a very difficult game against a team that has kept the same player base from last year and the same manager and obviously the same idea in their game. Some faces may have changed, but basically they remain the same team. They will also be rested compared to us after not having a game this week. We must have maximum attention and maximum performance to get the result we want.”

On how many transfers he is still waiting for:

“I don’t know because that’s not my job. My job is to try to build a team that will not be about names, but about attitudes, attitudes and values. What I have in mind is to prepare the team I have in hand at the moment so that we can win the next game and I don’t care about anything else.

I’m like the juggler trying to keep all the plates in the air at once. Some might fall because sometimes it’s hard to get all of these right at the same time, but in general what we try to do is keep a balance and a regularity without having too many ups and downs. It is definitely difficult when you have consecutive games to keep all the balances to the perfect degree. I’ll say it one more time. It is like walking on a bridge while it is being built. What we want is to take strength from the victories and be calm to organize our week as best as we can.”

On whether he is thinking of making changes in the match against Atromitos:

“That’s the challenge. That’s the difficulty. The fact that we have very little time and until the last minute we may not know who is available. There are too many new players. Some are ready to compete for 30 minutes, some for 20 and some for less. We need to calculate for everyone how long they are available. I wish I knew too so I could answer you who will be available on Sunday. At the moment I cannot know and some hours must pass before we can come to our decisions”.

For his part, Pep Biel said:

For the match with Czukarytski:

“It’s true that we played well in the last game, especially in the first half, and we could have scored more goals. However, in Europe all teams are good and many times things are not as easy as we think. We definitely need to be good in the second leg to achieve our goal.”

To manage Thursday – Sunday:

“We have a lot of players in the team who have been used to doing this for years. To play two games a week. We also have a large roster that allows us to be at a high level in all competitions, so I think we won’t have a problem.”

For this year’s team effort:

“I am very happy because I see that the team has improved a lot. Since the arrival of the new coaches, I think we have improved a lot in many things. It is very satisfying that the team is constantly developing and I see the future very positively”.



For him:

“Yes, I believe that the team helps the players to improve a lot. When a team is doing well then every player feels better and it shows in his performance. Also, we have players who help each other. Personally, I feel very good this year and I believe that as time goes by, things will go even better.”
