Zeliko Babic emphasized that the Olympiakos players deserve congratulations for how they fought against Potaisa, he spoke about the absences and the difficulty of scoring against the Romanian team, but he focused on the spirit they showed in defense and praised the friends of the “red and whites”.
In detail: “I want to give many congratulations to my players for their effort, they showed character today, they fought for every ball. From the beginning we had problems due to injuries. I am proud that our team will be in the draw. We are still alive.
Our biggest problem today was that we couldn’t score. We lost 23 balls from six meters! We created too much, but we couldn’t score. But we showed character! We played with heart in defense! The important thing is that we are in the 16 best teams in the competition, we will be in the draw and we achieved one of our goals, to play in Europe after Christmas.
Our world is our strength, I say it once again, I am grateful for our fans, they create a great atmosphere and they are a part of us, they are Olympiacos”.
Giorgos Papavasilis emphasized: “The truth is that we had to face a very good team, we saw that in the first match as well. Today, the goalkeeper also made it difficult for us, but the important thing is the qualification. Even at the last second!
The team showed ‘metal’. We had a lot of misfortunes, we had absences, but we did our job, we qualified. And now we wait for the draw. Congratulations to my team, thanks to our people! His presence pushed us to the qualification”.
