Speaking to Nova’s camera, Carlos Carvalhal gave his opinion ahead of Olympiakos’ match with Panserraikos, as well as the philosophy he wants to pass on to Piraeus.
“There are some things we do well, there are others we need to work on, both offensively and defensively,” the Portuguese coach pointed out, among other things.
In detail what he said:
For his first match at Olympiakos against Batska: “The game was very important to open a new page with victories. There are some things that were done well, some that we need to work on. It certainly wasn’t the best game we could have made. We needed a good performance and a win to be able to move on to what we have to work on».
On whether we saw touches from his game: “Brushes. We want to show a competitive team that shows that there is development in it. Obviously he has to constantly work on some things in training. There are some things we do well, there are others we need to work on, both offensively and defensively.
A team winning doesn’t mean it’s doing everything right and drawing a draw doesn’t mean it’s doing everything wrong. We always have to work to show that there is progress and that there is improvement if we want to play at the top level and Olympiacos is a team that wants to play at the top level».
For the match against Panseraikos: “We have time to prepare, there is no excuse, when you are in a team like Olympiacos you usually have 72 hours to prepare your next game. Now we have 96, we know that it is a team that has done a good championship at home. Always with respect to the opponent, because this is the first step, our intention is to win».
About Omar Richards: “Omar is a player who has been training like the rest since the day I arrived. It’s exactly the same treatment. Anyone who proves they can play and help will then play and help. We are all equal in training, there is exactly the same situation».
On Fortounis’ nomination for UEFA Player of the Week: “I’ve already retweeted, that says it all».
