Olympiacos head coach Imanol Alguacil was pleased following the away victory over Levadiakos. The Legend’s Basque coach highlighted the fact that his team kept pushing for the win until the very end and managed to secure it in stoppage time.
Imanol Alguacil’s press conference in full:
An important victory for Olympiacos at the end of the match. What do you take from this game?
We have to keep working because there are many things we need to improve. We have had little time, but we have tried to change the way we play and correct certain things. The truth is that it is not easy at all. During the break, we will have time to work. We have just had three consecutive matches and managed to win two of them. We have to make the most of the break to work and improve certain things. Everyone knows that winning away from home is not easy, but we managed to do it because we kept pushing until the final minute. Now we have the opportunity to work.
Over these three matches, you have experienced every emotion. From what you have seen, what can we expect from the team going forward?
First of all, it is important that we came from behind in the European match and got the win. That says a lot about the character of the players. They showed persistence until we scored the winning goal, and that is what we did here as well. That leaves me satisfied and says a lot about the players’ mentality and the fact that they have a winning spirit. We also want to thank our supporters because they came here, away from our own stadium, and made us feel as though we were playing at home. We should also congratulate the players, who, in front of these supporters, understood that we had to keep pushing until the end for the victory.
A comment on Freuler, whose two assists have helped the team secure victory in two consecutive matches?
There is little more that needs to be said about this player. Everyone knows that he is a great player who has competed at the highest level. He is a key player for his national team and helps us with his experience and quality. He is useful on the pitch and is an example for the younger players.
