Olympiacos returns to the men’s Polo Champions League. The “red and white” play at 18:00 Ferentsvaros at “Papastrateio” for the fourth matchday of the quarter-finals of the top class European club competition and they want the victory against the leaders of the group, in order to take a decisive step for their qualification to the Final- 4 of Malta.
Hrvoye Kolianin will not have the suspended Lonchar at his disposal, but the injured Nikolaidis is returning after two and a half months.
The Serbian coach emphasized that: “We know that the home games are very important and, in order to pass, you have to win all the matches in your field. Tomorrow, we play a very good opponent, particularly strong individually, with a lot of quality. We know the problems with the team and we tried to prepare with a different way of playing than we usually use.
That’s why we used the match with Vouliagmeni, to try a different style. I believe in the team and, with the help of the people, we can achieve a very important victory that will bring us very close to the Final-4″.
Giannis Fundoulis added: “Tomorrow is a very important match for both teams. We are facing a team that is very great, has shown throughout the season its quality, remains unbeaten. Nevertheless, tomorrow is a… final, we are playing at home and I think we have a different dynamic competing in Papastrateio.
The motivation is great, we want to take a decisive step to qualify for the Final-4. If Ferentsvaros wins, they essentially “lock” qualification. So, we expect a great battle and a high-level spectacle. I hope that our world will be by our side, to support our effort and, all together, to celebrate a great victory”.
