On whether he’s satisfied with today’s result: “I’m very satisfied with the way we played and with the win. I’m satisfied with the way the players reacted. We saw determination and effort on the players’ behalf. We came here with a huge advantage but we showed that when you play for Olympiacos you must play to win. The win is important because we earned points for Greece. We want to see seriousness from the players also on the following matches”.
On how the team’s new acquisitions will help it on the play-offs: “I’m counting on all the players and every player must help. Natcho isn’t ready physically. He’s been training with us only for a week. We’re counting on his effort. We’re satisfied with everyone and with their effort. We always choose the players that are better prepared. The next round is coming in which we’ll be facing teams with a higher level. We’ll be totally prepare and we’re counting on all the players to contribute. Generally speaking, it’s a season that is starting with ambition and we want to qualify to the group stage”.
On whether he prefers Basaksehir or Burnley: “They’re two different teams, with different styles. The Turkish team play a dominance football, the English one is a typical English team, with discipline and a good coach. Burnley is a team with many strong points and very well organized. The Turkish team has high quality. We’ll be ready no matter which opponent we’ll face and we’ll be consistent and concentrated in order to qualify”.
On Guilherme and Hasan: “I don’t want to talk about any player that isn’t in the team”.
