Olympiakos lost 2-1 to Atalanta and will qualify for the Europa League Round of 16 in the second leg in Karaiskakis. Pedro Martins, in his statements to COSMOTE TV, stated that his team deserves the respect of the referees, while stressing that he meets all the conditions to qualify.

The statements of Martins in detail:

For the game: “A challenging, intense, well-played game, we played well. At the moment everything is open and we can claim qualification. At home, with our people, we will be stronger than Olympiakos. We have all the prerequisites.” I also told the kids in the changing rooms that we would qualify.

For its basic format options: “Atalanta is a demanding and fast team, we tried to exploit their gaps with Oniekourou and Masura at the end. We exploited Atalanta’s gaps, we missed the last pass. Agibu is a player with speed, agility, his ability was useful, to capitalize on the gaps in Atlanta in these areas.

For arbitration: “Olympiakos deserves more respect. A foul was given to Tikinios who wasn’t there, we stole and we could have gone on, a foul was given where nothing was. Olympiakos deserves more respect and we expect that from everyone next Thursday.”

For the two corners: “It’s football, that’s how it happens. We didn’t take chances in the first half. We were penalized with two goals from set pieces. Unfortunate moments for us. This is football, you’re punished if you’re not effective.” .”

Γwhether there will be any changes to the defense in the corners: “The standards have to do with efficiency, we have to work hard”
