On his crazy run Olympiakou in the Conference League was reported on Luciano speaking to News Bulletin 247.
At first, –speaking on the show “Attack from the… back” by Sotiris Tabakos– glorified her “golden” children K-19 of Piraeus, who won the Youth League, beating Milan 3-0 in the final, while they will claim the Intercontinental against Flamengo.
“Let’s start with the young ones. There are plenty of new talents in Greece. We just don’t care about talent. I had said that since I was at Olympiakos. In Greece a 16-17 year old child is not ready to play in Greece and when he turns 21-22 he is big“, he underlined.
Regarding the first team, he emphasized: “The big team took turn from the young ones. He is getting close to achieving something that, as you said, is difficult for Greek teams to achieve. Now Olympiacos is close after the beautiful victory against Aston Villa. I said in a radio interview that I gave in Piraeus that Olympiacos can make a big surprise in England. I think Aston Villa didn’t respect him, didn’t think highly of him. Olympiacos pushed high from the start. The success of Olympiakos owes a lot to the coach, Medilibar. The previous coaches were trying to make it up… down. It is a great and well-deserved success, the result was not accidental, it was well deserved. The qualification with 6-1 against Maccabi gave courage. I don’t get tired of saying that Olympiacos won very deservedly, it lifted the football players’ psychology which was down».
The veteran ace then highlighted ahead of the rematch with Aston Villa: “It will be a very different game. He has the lead, the mentality, but it will be a tough game. Olympiacos has the upper hand. If he does 60% of the match in England, I think he will qualify».
At the same time, he spoke about the players who stand out in this year’s Olympiakos, saying: “Everyone has been playing their own role since the beginning of the year. I’m not saying this because he’s my compatriot, I’m going to say about Rodney, who is a shame that he is not called to the Brazilian national team. Carmo gave balance to the defense. I will also say Ese, who impresses me, hardly makes a mistake and does a lot of kilometers. I will say El Kaabi, Podense».
He also spoke about the suspense prevailing in the Greek league with the battle for the title still alive.
