Roberto: “Olympiacos deserves it – I want him to lift it”

Roberto is in favor of Olympiakos in an interview with MARCA in which he refers to today’s final against Fiorentina. The Spanish goalkeeper mentions, among other things, that both the club and many people in the team deserve this trophy even more…

Read in detail what Roberto says in the interview he gave to Marca…



On his coming to Olympiakos:



“Olympiakos’ offer came through Mitchell who was there. He took an interest in me and I started an adventure, a little with my eyes closed, which later became the most brilliant period of my career. Olympiacos, both in the league and in the Champions League, means experiencing the feeling of being at the top.

You feel that everything you do, you do well and you feel the recognition of all the people who follow you and this gives you the opportunity and gives you the very important security to face a match as demanding as the Champions League, where I lived one of the most special nights of my entire career and looking back, I know how to perfectly recognize within myself how I felt at that moment.”

For his departure…



“The truth is that it was a step that was very difficult to take, because Olympiacos at that time was my home and I say this with conviction and with great enthusiasm as well,”

For today’s big game:



“Well, first of all, I consider the creation of this event an absolute success. It gives an opportunity to teams that maybe in their leagues don’t have access to play in European competitions, to go that far in European competitions, it gives them the opportunity to compete at European level and reach a final, a European final. Case that happens, for example, with Olympiakos or Fiorentina, which are the two teams that will play the final.

Well, I would love for Olympiacos to win. Finally there is a part of me that is there in Athens and I would love for them to win because there are many people who deserve it. I think the club deserves it. I would feel sorry for Fiorentina two finals in a row without winning the title, but…. But my cheerfulness would be a victory for Olympiakos.”
