THE Olympic pulled off a legendary turnaround, winning away from home with 6-1 Maccabi Tel Aviv and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League, where they will face the Fenerbahce.
After the end of the match, Jose Luis Mendilibar he spoke to the camera of Olympiakos and mentioned that he got the best present for his birthday, while he wished that this was not the last qualification of the “red and whites” in Europe this year.
In detail, what Jose Luis Mendiliber said:
Congratulations on qualifying, what better gift did you expect?
“No, the truth is, there were a lot of doubts about whether we could do it today, but we did, it was a very good game from start to finish. Many thanks to my players for this».
Would you like to tell us some of your words to the footballers and we saw this incredible image on the pitch?
“All I told them is that we have to believe in ourselves and that we have to show a better image than the image we showed in the previous two games.
We never talked about qualifying but about a good game that would go minute by minute, so we didn’t think about the final result, but they thought that during the game they had to show a good image to get a good result.
That’s what would change our image, change our mentality, compared to the previous two games and that’s what we needed and that’s how we’d get here».
Would you like to dedicate the victory somewhere, did you manage to talk to your family, will you tell us what they told you?
“No, I haven’t talked to my family because I have a habit when I come to a match to always leave my cell phone on the bus and I haven’t been able to talk to anyone.
However, I am very happy here today, I am happy that we have made a great qualification, the team has made it to the last eight with this club that wanted it so much and wanted it so much in the last few years that it had not achieved something big in Europe and I hope not it is the last qualification».
