His own comment after qualification of Olympiakou in the Conference League final did o Nikos Stamatelos to News Bulletin 247.
“Ciquinho is in trouble, Ibora is injured, Kini is also in trouble and the two left backs have their own issues“, the team’s reporter initially mentioned about the problems that arose after yesterday’s rematch in Karaiskakis and added:
“Apostolopoulos, who is from Olympiakos B, has been preparing for two years. Some were quick to call him Cimika No2 because he comes from Serres, but the right time is coming for every player in this team».
“In the conversations held with the players, they themselves try to understand what has happened, in a year when with Lamia he could not change a second pass. I stand in that game, because really Olympiacos didn’t change a pass. In the conversation we had with the players, we were talking about how we got here since January. He changed Carvalhal, there were high hurdles and the dawn of May 10 dawned and in theory you claim the championship, because he has three matches to achieve it. We are looking to find if there is logic and the common denominator from Ferentsvaros until yesterday, there is no one person to give you an answer. They can’t explain it“, he added.
And he continued, saying:There was raw material in the team, players like Jovetic and especially Ibora had found themselves at the exit door. No one can understand how, from the team’s difficult situation yesterday, the team can gain such confidence against Aston Villa. In the team that is 4th in England, he gets a ticket for the Champions League and he had recently won England, and his appearance was “tonight is my night”.
From Kini to Apostolopoulos, who if you didn’t know him, you thought he had played again in crucial matches of Olympiakos. I don’t stand by Tzolakis who was also the man who calmed the team down and won against Mendiliber, while yesterday he took advantage of El Kambi who scored the second goal with his own assist. All of Olympiacos made an imposing appearance yesterday. You understood it until the last sub».
