Although he took the lead with Moron’s goal in the 35th minute, however, o Mars experienced the upheaval from Kostoula’s goals, losing me score 2-1 from Olympiakos in “G. Karaiskakis” for the 18th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
After the end of the match, the “yellow” coach, Marinos Ouzounidisreferred at the press conference to the “key” points on which the match was decided, to the difficulties his team faced during the match, but also to the competitive problems he now has to manage with the injuries.
At the same time, he also answered a related question about the young footballers of the “red and whites”.
What Marinos Ouzounidis said in detail:
“A bad result for us and the way it came, as well as the problems created during the next matches. Mayo was out, Diadi with a muscle and then Saverio’s sprain. The team turned upside down. We said that Olympiacos is dangerous when we have the ball with parallel passes.
In the second half he put pressure on us… I consider the second goal we conceded unacceptable. Naturally the opponent loaded the area at the end and unfortunately for us we conceded this goal. Apart from the result, the situation with injuries is even worse.
We gave them a chance to get into the match very quickly at the start of the second half. We have to pick up our pieces. I don’t know if we complete the eleven for the next match. Montoya is suspended and Mayo is not playing, so we have to find answers.
To be happy with the effort when we lost is not befitting of us. Olympiacos relies on pressure, ball recovery and quick attacks. We didn’t avoid it even though we went for long passes to avoid the build up. We talked about them and worked on them but we didn’t avoid them. What I see are some kids who have the will but don’t make it. Everyone has to give their all for the team and we still need work.”
On what Mars needs to fix: “The first thing is to have a good dressing room. That is the strength of a team and we are not as good as I would like. We have to fix this. There have been some negative results, it’s a difficult time. I can take a lot of… cuffs, I can handle it I will change it. Today we showed that we can do some things but it takes more effort from everyone.”
For the goals conceded by his team: “The phase happened to be in Kostoulas. The mistakes are ours. Olympiacos is not the best team in creation. However, she is one of the best at putting pressure and taking advantage of the opponent’s mistakes. The way the match went, we are not allowed to concede such goals. I was also a defender… It’s one thing for the striker to take the duel from you, and another for players to find themselves”.
Regarding the presence of young Greeks in the composition of Olympiakos: “Is there anything nicer? We are lagging behind and we have to fix it. It’s nice to see Greek players competing.”
