Title message with Olympic sent by Carlos Carvalhal. In the usual statements ahead of the match against Lamia, the Portuguese coach wished to win the championship with Piraeus.
In addition, he stood in the way of Fthiots, stressing that it is strange that Olympiacos is playing outside again, while he commented: “I think that while I’m here our image is better in every game».
As for Navarro, he was tight-lipped about the possibility of competing on Wednesday, but expressed his belief that he will adjust quickly.
“We are very happy with the roster we have and if we can keep it as good and make it even better that is our desire“, he answered a question about whether the Piraeus will be strengthened even more.
In detail what he said to Cosmote TV:
For the wish he wants to make for 2024: “I want one more championship for Olympiakos».
For the match with Lamia: “It’s a bit strange because we never play at home. It’s my third game and everything is away from our home ground.
We are ready for the game, we have worked well and prepared to go and play in Lamia. I think that while I’m here our image is better in every game. Even in the last one where we didn’t have a good result, our image was better compared to the previous game. We are constantly progressing and we want to continue like this. I believe that the team will look better and better. With all due respect to Lamia we are going there to win and we are ready for it».
On what Navarro expects to deliver: “Fran Navarro is a very good player and I am sure that he will do extremely well in Greece because of his characteristics. It is very fast and very complete. You will see that the work he is doing in the region is very comprehensive and I am sure that he will do great things here».
On whether we will see the Spanish striker in Lamia: “All footballers need time to adapt either to the team, the country or the style of play. Everyone needs some time to adjust to the new situation. Some need more time and others less time, however I think Fran Navarro will be one of those who will adapt very quickly. It seems that he is already ready and it is very likely that he is on the mission».
As for whether he is still waiting for a “gift”: “What we always try to do is always to improve the team. We always want the team to be ready for any occasion. In the case of Navarro, he came to make the team’s attack more complete since El Kaabi and El Arabi are absent. We wanted this player to strengthen the team even more. We are very happy with the roster we have and if we can keep it as good and make it even better that is our desire».
