Pito: “To impose our game”
The coach of Olympiakos Youth, Romain Pito, in his statement about the first match of the “red and whites” in the Domestic Champions Path of the UEFA Youth League, emphasized:
“First of all there should be the emotional management of the first European match of the year. It is up to us to show great tactical and technical mastery to impose our game. We should also be able to put a lot of pressure on our opponent to prevent them from feeding their attack, which will be effective if they get up to speed.”
