As with Ferentsvaros who we didn’t know very well, we have a lot of time to study them and learn about them. The team has qualified before us and they are not going to be an easy opponent».

On what Olympiacos needs to do to qualify:You should play well in two games. If you play badly in a match, you are very close to elimination. We will have to play as well as we did in the last three games and if we do that we have a good chance of qualifying».

For the words he will say to his players before the games:We have to continue to play the same way we have done so far. I think that’s the key, before these two games come. We have 2-3 matches in the league, where it will be shown if we are at the same level or if we give up the good effort. I think that’s where we’ll see how it goes this week, in the league matches. What I will say to them is to continue the good effort we are making so far».

The course of Olympiacos in Europe in the previous years and the history of Olympiacos have proven that it is very strong in Europe, both in the Champions League and in the Europa League. Olympiacos has played very well, has gone through many qualifiers and should continue to fight, show a good face and think that they are strong. To continue in this way. If he does that, he has high hopes of continuing in Europe».
