Daniel Castellani emphasized that Olympiacos was pressured by Zirat’s serve in Ankara and stood for the team spirit of the “red and whites” and asked them to always compete in the same way.
Analytically: “Tonight, Zirat had an amazing game, of a very high standard. They were very good on the serve, with a lot of variety in their shots, which I believe was the ‘key’ of the match.
As for us, the score doesn’t matter. We fought with team spirit against a team that played a perfect game, which was very difficult to deal with. We continue with our plan, with our own style and style of play”.
Dragan Travica added: “Of course we are sad, but we found against us a team that played an amazing game in all areas of the match, in the reception, in the service, in the block. It was very difficult to find our game, we have to congratulate them, they deserve it.
Regarding our presence in the tournament, I think we left our ‘mark’, we played in high level matches. Some moments we could respond better, some others, however, not. The Champions League is over for us, we continue for the rest of the goals we have.”
