At the press conference ahead of Olympiakos’ rematch with Maccabi Tel Aviv for the “16” of the Conference League, the Santiago Esestressing that he and his teammates need to be patient and not… go crazy in their quest to reach the upset, while stating that the best way to show that they are not in such a bad situation is to present a good image in the match of Serbia.

What the Olympiacos midfielder said in detail:



“I think for anyone in Olympiakos the game is a challenge and especially for us players. Let’s start based on patience, and without going crazy try to reverse the result”.

For psychology and if they have decided to change something: “After these two bad results, we are talking as a team and we have recognized that the wide range of the result is negative. The best way to get out of this situation is to follow a game, we see it as an opportunity to turn the situation against us.”.

What is the cause of the situation: “I think it’s hard to put into words what’s going on, before the two bad results we had a run of good games, it’s very easy to say everything was destroyed in two games. In these two games and our defensive function and in general how many phases we created, does not reflect the results. The best way to show that we are not in such a bad situation is with a good image”.

For the many games he has played: “I didn’t know, I hadn’t counted them. I thought that’s part of the game, I don’t want to lose any game, I don’t think about fatigue, but I try to concentrate in every game.”.
