Olympiacos welcomes AEK on Sunday (26/10) at “G. Karaiskakis” for its 8th matchday Stoiximan Super League with centers at 21:00 and telecast by Cosmote Sport 1.

Ahead of the match, Mr Santiago Ese emphasized that he sees this particular derby as an opportunity for the “red and whites” to react after the heavy defeat by Barcelonawhile he focused on the power that the group from her world.

What the Argentinian midfielder said in detail:

On how the team is after what happened in Barcelona:

We are no longer concerned about what happened in Barcelona because we are all focused on the next game which is very important. In the same way that we very quickly forgot about the victory in Larissa to focus on Barcelona, ​​we have now moved on to the next game and are preparing for it.

Regarding the refereeing in the match against Barcelona:

We could say many things about it but it would not serve us anywhere, nor would we achieve anything. The only thing we could possibly achieve by talking more about this would be for them to apologize to Olympiakos for what happened. We have to put it behind us and focus on the next games. It’s really too bad what happened because nobody knows what could happen in the match against Barcelona. We and the people who followed us went there with great appetite and impatience to play this game. It was against Barcelona.

We didn’t know what would have happened, but from the moment they left us with ten players, they deprived us of the possibility to play. Up to that point we were playing well, but then they denied us any chance to compete in a game we were looking forward to. But there is no point in staying there any longer. We need to turn the page and focus on the important things ahead. I only hope that at some point an apology will be heard to Olympiakos and to its players because with what happened, I don’t know if anything would change, but I know that until then we were competitive and then they deprived us of the opportunity to compete as we have proven that we can do.

For the match with AEK:

Against AEK we have to play well, play our game and get back to winning ways. It’s good that this match is coming so soon to turn the page, leaving behind what happened. We will play in our stadium and everyone knows that in front of the world we are very strong. They also followed us to Barcelona and everywhere we play they are always by our side. They are very important to us and we have the opportunity to show them who we really are.
