The Olympiakos defender spoke about the upcoming match against Aris (27/9, 20:30), Rodney!
The Brazilian stressed that he and his teammates should show up 100% focused in order to win against the Thessalonians, while he also spoke about the Kostas Fortunisdescribing him as the best Greek footballer and adding that with the technique he possesses, he could easily be a Brazilian too!
In detail what the Olympiakos defender said:
For Olympiakos’ home streak: “We know that it is very important to win every game in Greece and so far we have played really good games. Especially in our stadium, it is very important that we have not conceded a goal yet. Any team that doesn’t concede a goal is very close to victory and that’s how we want to continue. Let’s play another good game and get the win without conceding a goal”.
For the Mars game: “Indeed, I remember very well what happened last year in the game with Aris. This is a very difficult team to beat for that and we have to be very focused. It’s a tough game and we have to be there 100%.”.
About Fortounis and their collaboration on the field: “Fortounis is the best Greek footballer, one of the best teammates I’ve had and he has great quality. When you play behind a player of such great quality then your job is much easier.
It is true that we have very good cooperation and communication in the stadium and this is due to the quality of Kostas. But we also have a very good relationship off the field as our families also know each other. In general, he is a player that I appreciate and admire very much.
When we play together what we try to do is show the world our best performance. People are always there and support us and we want to offer them moments of enjoyment. When a player performs so well, he is also well received by the world and this is the case with Fortunis.
Everyone knows that Brazilians are famous for their technique. Great Brazilians have played here like Rivaldo and Giovanni. With the technique that Kostas has, he could of course be Brazilian. He has very high quality and I appreciate him on and off the pitch and it’s an honor to play alongside him. He is Greek, he is recognized in his country and very loved in the world, but with the technique he has, he could definitely be Brazilian”.
