Statements ahead of the match between Olympiakos and Athens Kallithea for the 2nd matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, made by Marko Stamenictalking about how his adaptation is going and what Mendiliber is asking of him, while making it clear that he has completely overcome the injury that plagued him, being ready to help the “red and whites”.

In detail what he said:



To customize: “I am very happy to be here at a fantastic club, among wonderful people who have welcomed me so well. Athens is wonderful, it has many things to do. It’s a completely different environment, but everyone has helped me adapt and I’m happy here. I had a setback at the start with a minor injury but now I’m back and I’m ready to help the team win the title.”.

As to what Medilibar asks of him: “There is the language barrier because I speak English and he speaks Spanish, but I am trying to learn Spanish. Also, there are people who help us with the translation and get the message across. In terms of what he asks of me, I play in midfield and as you know there are a lot of demands in that position, both in the attacking and defensive parts of the game. When to play immediately, when to calm the game down. In general, we are building a good relationship and I think I am on the right track to assimilate everything the coach wants”.

For the match with Athens Kallithea: “Of course we want to win. We have great expectations from this year’s championship, the Cup and from our presence in Europe. We started with a win and that’s what we want to do all year. I’m looking forward to the first game at home. I experienced a bit of the atmosphere in the friendly against Nottingham, but I’m really looking forward to Monday’s game.”.
