After speaking with the best words about Arabi, Valbouena and Rafinia, he pointed on the camera of “Cosmote TV”. ““Unfortunately, today I did not see Fortounis, who is a quality footballer.” It is recalled that the international midfielder was left out of the mission for Manchester.
I think we saw in the second half what Olympiacos really is. In the first part we couldn’t see it, because we were amazing, incredible. In such cases, however, it must be more effective.
You have to finish the phases and score more goals. We didn’t do that and that was our problem in the first half.
When you only lead 1-0, anything can happen, it was also a warning about what Olympiacos can do in the Greece game.
We are in perfect condition, in 3 games we have 9 points and we want another victory to mathematically celebrate the classification.
We will seek this victory in Athens. I’m not saying we were scared, but we were lucky to do our job because they threatened Valbouena and his midfielders. They had a versatile center and a very good team. In the first half we were excellent.
Rafinia is a great player, I know him very well. We spent three years together and I have wonderful memories, they are one of the best people I know. I love the fact that at 35 he can play at such a high level. Controlling it is not easy and today has gone well.
Of course Olympiacos are a leading team in Greece, they play for the win and they do well. The centrals are excellent. I’ve known Cholebas since he played for Watford. Arabi is an incredible striker, Valbouena is very good between the lines. This is a very good team with very fast attacking players.
“WE SUFFER SOME MOMENTS IN PART B”
The Catalan then spoke to the camera of “BT Sport”, where in addition to the match with Olympiaos, he also referred to the upcoming derby of the championship with Liverpool in “Etihad” for the eighth game of the Premier League.
“Excellent first half, we could have scored more goals because we were well prepared. In the second half we suffered a bit but when we scored the second goal, the match was practically over.
Olympiacos had 1-2 good moments and we, as we had not cleared the match in the first half, faced some difficulties in the second half. Overall though, it was a solid performance, especially in the first half.
The score was good, we have three wins in three games, nine points and we need one with three more points to qualify.
“I listened to the weather report and saw that the next three days would be sunny in Manchester. This is rare! We have three days to rest in the sun and then we have Friday and Saturday to prepare for the game against Liverpool.”
