Christian Streich emphasized that in Freiburg they knew how dangerous a team Olympiacos is and in the system they followed, he praised Gregoric, stood on the aggression of Olympiacos, while he asked for the shirt of Fortounis.
In detail: “We made a very good start. Gregoric quickly scored two goals. We knew how Olympiacos is a dangerous team, but after 4-0 the score was decided. It’s a nice night and we’re happy about it.”
On the system: “We could have a… mixed system with both 4 and 3. It’s something that helped us.”
On the continuation in Europe: “Europe is like… balm for our soul.”
On Gregoric: “Gregoric was very good. With Darmstadt he had missed opportunities, but such is life for the forward. I was a player too. Not as good, but I was. The players kept their confidence. Now he is back in shape.”
For Olympiakos: “All the factors were in our favor. Olympiacos is not a bad team. He struggled defensively, but was dangerous on the ball. In the first match, we could have drawn.”
About Fortounis: “I knew Fortounis since he was playing in Kaiserslautern. He was to come to Freiburg. There were talks, but he didn’t come. I went over, spoke to him about his performance and asked him for his jersey. I hope he gives me his jersey. Overall, he is a very good player. Today he had difficulties, but he is very good.”
