Orta: “We showed that we are capable of great things”

His own opinion how the Olympic managed to present a completely different face compared to the one he had shown in the previous two games, with Maccabi and Panathinaikos, expressed Andre Horta after the legendary qualification to the “8” of the Conference League.

In detail what the Portuguese ace said to “Fos ton Spor”

What exactly happened in Serbia? You went with a heavy score and we would like you to explain to us how Olympiacos achieved this epic qualification…

“They are two completely different games. In the first match we conceded two very quick goals and then in our attempt to score, we left our defense unguarded. Today (Thursday) was a completely different game. We were much more careful and managed to score first goals. We managed to get ahead. We believed in ourselves and gave it our all. We proved that we are great players, a very good team that everyone gave their best. We achieved a very big qualification».

Did a long conversation you had with Rentis also play a role? All the players sat down and agreed that you should give something more, having behind you two heavy defeats against Maccabi and Panathinaikos.

“No, I wouldn’t say that. I think our psychology was completely different. We scored quickly and we knew that when the team has the fate in their hands, that’s when they give their best. We believed, as we did with PAOK, but also with Ferentsvaros. We have shown that we are capable of great things».
