Mission to Budapest for Olympiakos

For the “2 on 2” Olympiacos in the men’s polo Champions League. The “red and whites” face Vasas in Budapest at 21:30 for the second matchday of the top European club competition, to continue the same pace after the 13-9 defeat of Mladost at the “Petros Kapagerov” in the premiere.

Elvis Fatovic emphasized that: “We still have a very important match ahead of us against a team that came from the qualifiers and already showed its quality in the first match against Radnicki. They are a classic Hungarian team. If you give her space, she will punish you.

Traditionally, Hungarians have excellent shooters and this team is no exception. Sure, they have two very good left-handers. We have to prevent easy goals and the suspensions that create surprise. I believe our strength must come, as always, from defense. If we start strong defensively, it will open up a lot more space for us in attack.

In attack, we must not allow their goalkeeper to find a rhythm, because he is very dangerous when he “enters” the game. If he starts well, he gets psychological and becomes decisive. For this, we should not give him easy saves or pointless shots because they will punish us with counter attacks. In my opinion, it all starts with our defense. We have worked well, trained well and shown a good image recently. In the league, we don’t have strong tests yet, those will come later, but I think we have the power to win this game.”

Kostas Kakaris added: “It is the first away game we play this year in the Champions League and we want to pick up where we left off with Mladost. We put on a good performance, we got the win and we want to do the same now with Vasas.

We have prepared properly for the game, we have corrected some of our mistakes and we hope to leave with the victory, which is very important for the continuation and qualification to the next phase”.
