Cautious optimismby Christian Kareberegarding today’s draw Olympiakou and Fenerbahce’s obstacle to the quarter-finals of this year’s Europa Conference League.
With the strategy advisor and ambassador of the “red and white” PAE pointing out that his team must go step by step, to get as far as possible!
Karebe’s statements on the COSMOTE TV camera in detail:
On whether he thinks that Olympiacos can eliminate Fenerbahce again: “It’s inevitable to remember the last time we played against them but now it’s another draw. We will have to wait. We have also played with Plzen. Of course, they have changed their roster and the coach, they are a new team for us.”
On whether he has overcome what happened yesterday in Serbia: “Yes, the emotions were strong. We have our confidence again from the qualification and we are more experienced after the defeat we experienced in Karaiskakis. We want to set new goals and achieve them.”
On whether he thinks the team can go further in Europe: “It was one of the big goals of Mr. Marinakis and he tried to invest in it. Olympiacos is an experienced team in Europe now, and it is one of our goals to advance as far as possible.”
Because there are two Greek teams in the event: “First of all, we should see the games one by one. I hope we reach a purely Greek final. It will be the best for the Greek League and football. It’s something we all dream of and it’s a huge opportunity for the country’s football.”
On what Olympiacos must do to keep a consistent performance: “Every match is different, every opponent is different. We have a new coach, who likes attacking football. Olympiacos plays openly and this has cost us so far. All the players have to be focused and we are working on that.”
On whether he considers it a good luck that Olympiacos will play the second leg away from home, like with Ferentsvaros and Maccabi: “We must be in very good shape. We have seen that everything depends on the moment the team is. We are in a good momentum. We expect more from our team, to perform better, but it’s definitely difficult when you have to play a game every three days.”
