Martins: “Nothing has been decided yet in the league, let’s be serious about Asteras”

Pedro Martins told NOVA that the championship is still early and that Olympiacos can lose points in any place, as happened in Rizoupoli with Apollon Smyrnis.

The red and whites’ Portuguese coach insisted that as the game with Asteras Tripoli begins against Georgios Karaiskakis, his players will have to look more serious and return to victories (9/1, 19:30, NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE Sportish).

Details of what Pedro Martins told NOVA: About the game with Apollon Smyrnis: “I intend to say again what I always say. The league is big, nothing has been decided yet and we can lose points to any opponent at any time. The last time we played in a stadium that we didn’t and didn’t expect.

We didn’t intend to lose points, but that can happen in football. It’s too early to say we’ve conquered something.

We have to get over it, analyze well what happened and what went wrong, and then play a good game and get back to winning ways. We have to be careful against Asteras, it’s a team with quality players that will likely be difficult for us“.

What a different game he expects from Asteras: “It will be very different because the two teams are different, they have different characteristics. Apollo plays low, waits in his own half, plays a closed game, waiting for the counterattacks.

Asteras play more openly and aggressively, they are a team that tries to bring the game to its measure. It will have different characteristics because we are playing at home. We’re going to see a different game with Asteras as we’ve been playing at 25 meters with Apollo the whole time“.

For the problems the team plays: “Right now we have the known issues and concerns about the Bouchalakis case. We hope that tomorrow Socrates will come and give the answers we hope he gives and we are waiting for them.“.

For the Portuguese coach with the most wins in 2021 and his goal for the new year: “Even more victories with Olympiakos to win more things and more victories and successes year after year“.

For transfers: “There is currently nothing new from the previous interview“.
