Europa League
Tikinio: “Let’s give our lives to qualify”
Olympiakos players will give ‘G. Karaiskakis’ everything to turn the situation around to their disadvantage, Tikinios said.
Ticinio was Olympiakos’ goalscorer in the game against Atalanta, the one who gave the ‘Red and Whites’ the lead, but the veteran striker’s goal didn’t give his team the win.
This is what Tikinio said in his statements at the end of the game, but stressed that Olympiacos players will give their lives to qualify for the next stage.
“I’m happy about the goal but it didn’t give us the win, which makes me a little sad. We have to wait for the second game to fight and qualify.”
We saw you partying and showing the lion you have on your leg, what does that mean to you?
“This tattoo means a lot, it means a lot to me, it means a lot that we don’t give up. Waiting patiently for the next game and fighting to win.”
Can Olympiacos overtake Atalanta who they faced today?
“I think so. We are a strong team, we have to give everything, give our lives, to qualify.”
