With four Europa Leagues under his belt, Vithene Ibora is its most experienced footballer Olympiakou and is expected to… show the way to his teammates in the rematch with Aston Villa for the Conference League semifinals.
The Spaniard spoke to Press conference in view of the crucial match on the side of Jose Luis Mendiliber and he referred to the elements that his team must have and what he has learned from his former coach – and now of Villa – Unai Emery.
What he said in detail:
“Of course I would trade one of the trophies I have with the Conference. It doesn’t matter what I’ve won. It is very important to the history of the club and I would like to celebrate it with him.
I think we don’t even know how the opponent will play. Not even how we will play. We’ll find out tomorrow. The opposing coach will have studied every detail. They will be very well prepared. I have learned a lot from Emery but I don’t forget that to be in a final you have to want it. It matters to want it more and celebrate with the world at this time.
My team needs to use all of these weapons. The thirst, the confidence, the world and all these elements.
It’s one thing to get carried away and another to think about the first race. You have to go on the pitch to score the first goal. We really want it. We don’t need to get carried away. It is important that we are as good tomorrow.
I don’t think animation is Emery’s key element. More he will look at the details and predict anything that will happen in the match. He will focus on tactics, control all the details. And we are a capable team. They will have to try a little harder than us because of the score of the first game.”
