The full statement:
His comment on the opponents and this season’s competition: “I believe this is a good opportunity for us. We are lucky to be playing against Juventus and Atletico Madrid, last season’s runner-up. We obviously need to first fight for the third place with Malmö and we shall see. We definitely had a good campaign last season as well and we managed to qualify to the round of 16, therefore why not this year as well? We may able to repeat this feat. I hope the players will be ready.”
On not qualifying to the quarter-finals last season: “We indeed lost the qualification in the details, due to some factors. We believed we could qualify. We lacked something. I believe that with a good mentality, discipline and faith we can go further and higher. I know that good work is being done this season as well. I hope that the players will be able to prove this on the pitch. They always need to think that they can achieve something good in the UEFA Champions League.”
What are the chances for Olympiacos to qualify: “100%. Always 100%.”
On whether Olympiacos will make a last-minute transfer of a great player: “I believe that Mr Vrentzos and Mr Issa are trying for the best. If the coach deems this necessary, why not?”
