Statements after the end of the “eternal” derby for the “16” phase of the Greek Cup Betsson made Carlos Carvalhal.
The coach of the “red and whites” emphasized that the players gave everything to him and had opportunities to score and win, he added that his team is now focusing on the championship and the Conference League, he spoke about the change of Alexandropoulos, while he disagreed with a journalist for Olympiacos not being good in the first half.
In detail what the coach of Olympiakos said:
On whether he has thought about the… disastrous scenario of Olympiacos staying out of Europe after being disqualified from the Cup: “Regarding today and this game, the players gave us everything. Panathinaikos could have scored in the beginning but then we had many chances to score. Unfortunately when you go to penalties that’s the scenario. To do the best in the championship and the Conference League”.
Regarding the decision of the match and the substitution of Alexandropoulos: “It is true that Alexandropoulos had problems with his ribs. But his change was made for tactical reasons and to be more aggressive with Pontense and Navarro in order to win. We tried to strengthen the defense as well”.
On Olympiacos not being good in the first half: “I do not agree with your observation. Thanks”.
