Olympiacos want the best possible result at home to Torgir at 19:00 to take the first step towards qualifying for the Round of 16 of the EHF European Cup Men’s Handball ahead of next Saturday’s rematch in Heliopolis.
Nikos Grammatikos emphasized that: “We are in good condition. We also showed it at Diomedis’ headquarters, where we had a very good performance. Of course, this European game is completely different plus the trip to Croatia. This is a group from the Croatian school. Sure, they are not at the level of Zagreb or Nexe, but they have quite good players and are a strong Croatian team.
It is very important that we have the second game at home with the support of the Olympiakos fans. We look at each game separately, it is a European match, the degree of difficulty is high, but we will give 100%. We always want to win, that’s the only goal we always have. I believe in our team, in my players, they will give everything.”
Petros Kandylas added: “We have started a series of very demanding games. On Saturday we will face a good team, Trogir from Croatia, in the second round of the Challenge Cup. I think that we have worked very hard and we have the quality as a roster to do the double and next Saturday in Ilioupoli to celebrate the qualification with our people together”.
