Grammatikos: “We entered the second half better”

Nikos Grammatikos emphasized that Olympiacos had not found a rhythm in the first half against Sassari, he asked for a meeting for next Wednesday’s replay in order to qualify for the round of 32 of the EHF Cup and spoke well of the Italian team.

Analytically: “In the first half, we were trying to find a rhythm. In the second half, we came in better, we played better. Not the image we want, but it was better than the first half. We are gathering, we want to finish the work at our headquarters, on Wednesday.

We keep the second half, we presented a relatively good image. Sassari’s team is very good, with young guys who played very fast and also had some good qualities. The result on Wednesday also depends purely on our own performance. We leave today behind, congratulations to the children.”

Savvas Savvas added: “We had an expected first half, we hadn’t found a rhythm yet, but through good defense in the second and efficiency in attack, we found some easy goals and took a big lead. It is a very important advantage for the second leg at home, congratulations to all the boys. Nothing is finished yet for the qualification, but it is our first European victory this year and it is important.”
