Martins: “We can’t use excuses, nothing is over”

Olympiacos stayed at 0-0 in Rizoupoli against Apollon Smyrni. Pedro Martins told COSMOTE that his team cannot use excuses as the hosts were also absent. He emphasized that nothing is over in the championship and that this game can act as an internal alarm clock.

Martins’ statements in detail:

For the absences and if they played a role: “We can’t use excuses as Apollo had problems too. We didn’t win because we didn’t show the necessary aggression, we didn’t create any threats for our opponents. We have tried to react to developments and not act in front of them. Congratulations to Apollo, who was good defensively. “We’re letting time pass without aggression or tension.”

Whether he is hiding something positive from his players: “On the positive side, the game will work as a lesson today, that nothing is over. We haven’t won anything if we don’t play as well as we can. It was an internal alarm clock, we can’t rest when we” want to win the championship. ”

For coronavirus and the absence of people: “Of course, that affects the team, society as a whole, the fans. “Olympiakos couldn’t achieve their goal, the opponent was held strong and scored a point.”
