Lazetic on the absence of people: “It will look like a friendly match, but it’s not”

Olympiakos Piraeus will face Batska Topola in the final group game of the Europa League (December 14th, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 5HD, LIVE Sportish).

The coach of the Serbian team, Zarko Lazetic, pointed out the absence of the audience and emphasized that their presence would give more courage.

Lazetic’s statements:

For the game: “We have come to a game that will be about qualification. We are very motivated, we know how big and historic Olympiacos is. That gives us additional motivation, as does the fact that Olympiacos are of course the favorites.”

For doing it behind closed doors: “It is a loss for football in general. There is a big debate whether it is an advantage for us or not. We wanted to play in front of a crowd, in an atmosphere like the Olympiacos Stadium. We thought that the presence.” “The audience would give us more courage. It will look like a friendly if it isn’t. It assesses a qualification. It is not an advantage for us or for Olympiacos.”

For the optimism they have: “We will try to win, that is the goal. It is very difficult because with Partizan and in the game against Olympiacos we are capable of winning. Olympiacos is a big name in the Balkans and Europe, but we believe we can do it.”
