Statements about the derby between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos (22/10, 19:30) were spoken by George Masouras.
The Greek striker spoke about the importance of the game in question, while he added that the petrol of footballers is to compete in many games, adding that he and his teammates are electric powered.
His statements in detail:
“We all know what this match means. It is the biggest game in Greece and we want to win it for many reasons. We’ve been working all week to win this game and we’re really looking forward to it. We see what we can do well, the opponent’s weaknesses to be able to get the three points.
I think it’s a bit complex when talking about games like this. It takes too many. From the first moment of the match you have to win some things step by step. Win duels, get psychological, manage to impose your rhythm and in the end you will manage to win in a derby. You can’t win a match like this with just one element. For example, combativeness is obviously important, but you don’t win with it alone. You need to win the duels, impose your pace and be correct regularly in the field.
So far I feel good. I think that for every football player, his fuel is the games. The more you play, the stronger you become. From this point of view we do not need gasoline. We are electric. It is important for a footballer to play and I want to continue with the same intensity and be able to help the team achieve its goals.”
