I told the players to be prepared before they come here and hopefully everything will go well. I also said when I signed my contract that Olympiacos has the best fans in the world, they are ‘hot’ and we need them during the season, especially at the beginning the beginning will be difficult, we are playing for qualification to Europe. It will be difficult for us to be ready so early, so we need them.
The stadium is very nice, it also has new murals from the ones I saw last season. There are the title wins, which is nice to remember that Olympiacos is one of the top clubs in the world. I really like the stadium.”
