Carvalhal on the absence of the audience: “It seems strange to me, it’s not something usual”
Carlos Carvalhal was asked about the government’s measures after the absence of the crowd in his statements at the press conference after Olympiakos’ victory over Panserraikos.
On matchday 14, Olympiakos Piraeus beat Panserraikos 1-0, with Arabi finding the solution in the 65th minute. At the press conference, Carlos Carvalhal was asked about the absence of people following the government’s measures and replied that it seemed strange to him.
Carvalhal’s statements in detail:
A win with Topola, a win with Panserraikos, is that something that makes you happy?
“I’m happy, it wasn’t the perfect game, but it was a good game for my team. I think we overcame all the difficulties we had and if I had to choose one of the two European games or the one with Panserraikos I. I think we were better now.
In the sense that these days we have developed as a team and have overcome the difficulties with the defensive work of Panserraikos and I am happy about that.”
A commentary on the absence of people at all stages.
“It seems really strange to me, it’s not something that happens every day. The world of football offers a lot, it means a lot, but it is a reality and we have to accept it.”
We represent a big organization like Olympiacos and Olympiacos always has to present itself at the best possible level, as do the people on the pitch, and I think we have achieved that now.”
