His own comment for his defeat and appearance Olympiakou in the game against PAOK in Toumba, he did Nikos Stamatelos to bwinSPORT FM 94.6.
“Mediliber made the changes we expected, as they did in the previous playoff game. If we want to put things in one series, yesterday’s game was a final and it was reasonable that he did not make more changes and expected more from the rested players. No player on offense, not even Navarro, justified his presence. In the other areas, such as the pressure on the opponent, there were none“, the team reporter initially reported.
“The point is that Olympiacos did not give what was needed in such a game. It seemed that Olympiacos was looking for a way to hurt PAOK and take the lead. It was understandable that Olympiacos would be out of energy, at one point or another, after the game against Aston Villa on Thursday. He went to rested players, from the middle and up front, to create pressure on the PAOK defense, but he didn’t succeed. You want that Navarro couldn’t, that the wingers weren’t in that direction or the midfielders didn’t give the help they needed…“, he added.
And he continued, saying:Olympiacos has won two derbies this season and they were against PAOK. Medilibar emphasized that he wants his team to finish in third place so that the European ticket for next season does not depend on others. Vaskos was clear on this. We take his words and wait to see which team will play against AEK on Wednesday. With an AEK, who after the victory of PAOK, wants the victory in Karaiskakis, as long as PAOK beats Panathinaikos».
