Corberan: “Courage counts in the end, it’s a shame we had to go through this process”
Carlos Corberan, after Olympiacos qualified for the Europa League groups, stressed that at the end he measured his courage while declaring that he was satisfied with achieving his goal.
With Vatslik as the hero taking three penalties, Olympiacos qualified for the Europa League groups by eliminating Apollon Limassol. In his statement to COSMOTE TV, Carlos Corberan said it was a pity that the Reds and Whites had to go to penalties because of their image, but in the end it was courage that counted.
Corberan’s statements in detail:
For the game: “It’s a shame we had to go through the penalty shootout. In the second half we were effective in defense and had a chance to end the game earlier. In the end it’s courage that counts, even if it wasn’t in our favour, the players went on and we qualified. It wasn’t easy at all to create the goal in the 90′ and the Reds in overtime.
What a team needs to have to deal with it : “Personality, unity and being competitive. The team had them and we qualified in the end.”
About what he said to Vatslik: “I couldn’t speak to him, he was important for the team to be where it is today.”
On his thoughts on the Europa League groups: “From the first moment I came, that was the goal as Olympiacos didn’t make it to the Champions League. The team had to be here to show progress, I tried that and I’m glad we did succeeded.” We had to go through two qualifying stages to be successful.”

football journalist Igor Tsyganyk He told the details of the long-standing transfer story regarding the possible transfer of Vyacheslav Kobin to Dnepr.
According to him, when Dnipro club had to choose between Artem Fedetsky and Vyacheslav Kobin, Kobin was the first choice to strengthen the squad.
Tsyganyk stated that the football player could really be transferred to Dnieper and noted that they made him an offer in the first place. According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.
The journalist emphasized that the failure of the transition was not related to financial conditions. According to his information, salaries in Shakhtar and Dnepr were approximately the same. The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.
According to Tsyganik, Dnepr considered Kobin as a priority option, but the transition was never implemented. Artem Fedetsky played for Dnepr from 2012 to 2016. In the 2014/15 Europa League final, Dnepr lost to the Spanish team Sevilla (2:3).
