Mendiliber: “We are in a very good moment and with all the players helping”

Olympiacos will face on Thursday (12/12, 19:45) the Twenty for the 6th matchday of his League Phase Europa League.

THE Jose Luis Mendiliber spoke at the press conference ahead of the match and emphasized that his team will face the game with the appropriate seriousness, while also referring to the Willian, Ciquinho, Garcia.

On the importance of the match: “Everyone asks me the same thing. It is very important because it can give us direct qualification. It is not final. It’s very important but we have 2 games to go. We will treat it with the same seriousness.”

On whether there will be a surprise from K19: “There are many players. A lot of people. Papakanellos played with Neos”.

Regarding Garcia and Ciquinho, he said: “I want to congratulate the Youth for the great qualification. We follow them and congratulate them. Yaremchuk is ready to be in the team with a mask. It will be judged today for Dani and Ciquinio. They didn’t practice yesterday. As Ortega said, there are players. Even if they are not available, we hope we will not miss them.”

While for him Willian he said that tomorrow it will be decided if he will be ready for the game.

For the items he would like to see, he replied: “These two games were different. Against Steaua there was a lack of determination. Against Rangers, the game was more balanced. We are very well. We are in a very good moment and with all the players helping. Tomorrow we will show – I think – a much better image than the one we showed with Steaua and Rangers”.

On Twente and whether he saw the match against Eindhoven: “Twente is a very good team. It has very good results. They are a typical Dutch team with 2 wings and a ball-hungry centre. We like the way this game plays in relation to us. We should not stand in the game he did. We shouldn’t be fooled by the one bad play he made.”
