Stamatelos: “Martinez did it, let the players also take their responsibilities”

The need for his players to react as well Olympiakou assuming with… actions their responsibilities for the crash by PAOK stressed the Nikos Stamatelos to News Bulletin 247 ahead of Thursday’s tough game against West Ham.

“Martinez took responsibility in front of the players as well, but it will be good for the footballers to take their own responsibilities, because they are not unlucky for Sunday’s image. Everyone has a share, some less, some more. I don’t believe that the Spaniard did it diplomatically, because he realizes that he is also to blame. But at least he did it unlike other managers in the past, like Martins who in some defeats blamed everything on the players. The point is what can change immediately to show a completely different face on Thursday“, he said.

“There will definitely be some changes. Ortega will definitely play on the left. Logically, the formation with three midfielders will be maintained, even though it didn’t go well with PAOK. The point is for everyone to help in defense, because if the defense is left exposed again, Olympiacos can’t expect much in London. He has two difficult games ahead, against West Ham and then in Tripoli. In general, he has a difficult schedule ahead, with many away matches and he is also waiting for the final punishment for the derby with Panathinaikos“, he added.
