Useinu Ba represented the Olympiakos players at the press conference ahead of the game against Qarabag on Thursday (13/10) and spoke about what the Red-Whites need to do to achieve a positive result.
How he feels after his injury and how he watches the first game from the stands once he realizes how Olympiacos will react:
“I feel very good, I worked a lot after my injury. I saw that we didn’t do well. We lost a home game, which is not normal for us. We are sad, but we worked and we are here.” give everything Let’s play a better game and get a better result.”
Con what Olympiacos should change compared to the first game:
“We have a new coaching staff. One of the most important is to be focused and more aggressive in our game. Being in control of the game and being more organized. It’s mostly a question of concentration. That’s the reason for the bad result in the first leg.”
Whether there is a thirst for “revenge” for the defeat at “G. Karaiskakis”:
“We need it. We are in a bad position in the table, but also in general we want it because we are a very big team in Europe. We want to restore things. We and our fans are disappointed with the result of the first fit and we want to change it. We are ready to show that we are better. We want to improve our image and our position in the ranking.”
Why Olympiakos are more competitive away than at home:
“We were more competitive in the away games. That’s probably because we have a lot of new players who didn’t know what it was like to play in our stadium. We always try to be competitive. Scoring goals to have more chances of a positive result. We also have to be much more competitive at home. Be the team in control.”

Ukrainian defender Nottingham Forest Alexander Zinchenko He shared his feelings after his team beat Utrecht (2:1) in the main round of the Europa League.
“It’s a great feeling. First of all, I’m back. Secondly, it’s an incredible feeling to win a match. Getting three points today was very important for us. As you can see, it was a difficult match. But at the end of the match, I think we got what we wanted and let’s continue like that.”
“As a defender you always want to keep a clean sheet, but unfortunately we couldn’t do that today. So it’s something we need to work on in the future.”
“This is one of those matches where whoever wins the most challenges in different areas of the field will win the match. Today we won many more goals which helped us a lot in the game. But to be honest, even the opportunities we created, including me, we should have scored and finished this match earlier,” said Zinchenko.
Nottingham Forest is in 11th place in the rankings with 11 points after 6 matches in the Europa League this season.
