THE Panathinaikos he was much better in the first half but didn’t score, with him Olympic to improve drastically in the replay and the derby to remain without a winner (0-0), leaving both… losers.
THE Jose Luis Mendiliber he stated at the press conference that he was not at all satisfied with the performance of his team, as especially in the first half he struggled a lot, was threatened by the “greens” and did not manage to step into the opposing area.
On the other hand, he mentioned that in second part the “red and white” they improved their image, but not as much as they could.
Everything that Jose Luis Mendiliber said in detail at the press conference:
In the first half we struggled a lot. We couldn’t get into the opponent’s area, we couldn’t press. The opponent made it difficult for us. We didn’t show the face we wanted. In the second half we balanced the situation. We had opportunities that we didn’t take advantage of. Overall we didn’t see things we wanted from our team.
In the second half we saw Olympiakos make a change from half time and change face with Babis Kostoula. Did you see what you wanted in the second half?
Not too much, but we improved to a degree. We saw a change in attitude in attack. We tried to move more into the opponent’s area, but not that we were in control. We just increased our offensive mode.
Is the complaint from your players about the final effort?
If you want to have a good offense, you have to have a good defense. When a team has a good defense, then they also have a good offense. I would like better defensive mode and then good offensive mode would come.
