THE Daniel Pontense returned to his home, securing a third term in the Olympic And speaking to the Piraeus camera, he referred to the reception that the fans of the team were held Conference Leaguethe importance of the “red -whites” for him and the historical overthrow against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In detail:
“To be honest, I didn’t expect such a reception. It’s the third time I came, I didn’t expect it, a crazy welcome, they made me feel very good. I am grateful forever and will remember it all my life.
I always see the videos from the Conference League final that year, it was a huge season for us, so I get used to watching videos with my family and my kids, it was a great time for us.
The stories are many since then, but what I always say is that the day we were playing away with Maccabi Tel Aviv, I was treated with one of the team’s physiotherapists. He tells me “how do you see it, difficult?” And I looked at him, I say “why did we come here? It is not difficult, if we score two goals we will easily win”. He went crazy, we finally scored two goals and then it was an easy match in the end. I think this shows our faith, because after 1-4 at our headquarters the chances of not going was 99%, but then everything had to do with how much we would believe and how much we would fight.
It was a European trophy. As a player of Olympiacos, who for the first time won such a trophy, something that had never happened again and I don’t know if it will happen again, so far is definitely the best moment of my career.
I always remember the nights I played for the first time in the Champions League in my second year here and I am very excited to play there again, against big teams and I also believe that there are quite likely to succeed.
It is everything the love of the world, it has nothing to do with football but also with our lives, when you are home and you feel good, then you perform well, when you are really happy. I am here not only with my family but also with my second family, this is the most important thing in my life, so I will be here, as well as for football, I was very missing to claim titles for our world, it’s a way to offer them happiness. “
