Hrvoje Kolianin emphasized that it is important that Olympiacos closed the men’s polo Champions League quarter-final with a victory and he stood by the appetite shown by his players, despite the fatigue of the consecutive matches.
Analytically: “We got another European win and finished this group stage. After the Cup, understandably, it wasn’t easy to come here and give everything, to play the polo we’ve been playing lately. However, I saw a lot of appetite from the children again, I am satisfied, we got what we wanted and we continue.”
Giorgos Dervisis added: “Indeed, we won by one margin and achieved what we wanted, to close the groups with a victory. We deserve it. We would be doing ourselves an injustice if we made any other appearance today. Sure, we had some personal mistakes, we conceded some easy goals, but we overcame it and “opened up” the difference in the score and, thus, we won.
Our next goal is the championship, we have to go step by step, now we play the semi-finals with Panathinaikos. We want to make it 2-0 in the semi-finals, qualify for the finals and, of course, in the back of our minds is the Final-4. However, our first goal is the championship.”
