Corberan: ‘We have a winning mentality, let’s analyze the injury problem’

On Thursday (18 August, 8 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 1, LIVE Sportish), Olympiacos will meet Apollon Limassol on Cyprus in the Europa League playoffs. Carlos Corberan referenced what his team must have to achieve victory in his pre-match statements. He also spoke about the issue of injuries, which needs analysis.

He mentioned that Mandy Camara was ruled unfit and therefore not on the list, he commented that Masouras is available while commenting that De La Fuente has little chance of playing in Thursday’s game.

The statements in detail:

For what would fix it and what is required for a good result: “I think the most important thing is to maintain our strength in all parts of the game. Be aggressive, have an organized and strong defense. To keep our philosophy in all games and to be competitive.

Apollon is a side that was competitive in the second game against Maccabi despite not qualifying. They are the team that won the Super Cup and it makes sense to face difficult opponents at this point.”

For the Cyprus league he knows and what he needs: “We have to do our best, focused, with good attacks and strong in defence. Our best selves will be able to play a good game and a possible win will be the result of a good performance as we face a strong one play player.” Opponent.” .

When changing opponents when changing coaches: “Sure things will change, I had the opportunity to meet the new coach in the previous team. There is a possibility that we will see some changes in that sense.”

For Apollo’s strongest point: “Football has nothing to do with mathematics, we can’t calculate the odds. Olympiacos should be able to maintain a strong level of performance. We have a winning mentality, we’re a big team. We have to perform well to reach the goal .” .

About Masoura, Maddy Camara, De La Fuente and about the injury issue: “I understand that we need to analyze the issue of injuries in depth, but there are some things we need to analyze in more detail so that we have a broader view. As for Mandi, he was injured in the first game against Slovan, he hasn’t actually trained until now. It made sense to exclude an important player but add another player to the list. He wasn’t in the best of shape. Masouras traveled with us and is available tomorrow. De La Fuente traveled with us, he’s available but since he hasn’t played for a while the chances of him playing are slim.”

If he studied Katala’s mentality while he was at AEK Larnaca: “Of course I’ve seen the previous games, I’ve also seen his options for tomorrow’s game.”
