Retsos: “I don’t know if my team plays with different rules, there were 2-3 suspicions about penalties that maybe weren’t taken into account in the VAR.”

Olympiacos drew 0-0 with Atromitos in Peristeri. After the end of the match, Panagiotis Retsos expressed his complaints about the refereeing in his statements to NOVA.

Retsu’s statements:

Regarding the two lost points: “It was a difficult game. The opposing team played a lot of defensive football, it was quite difficult to break through the defense. We had phases and opportunities. We saw two or three suspected penalties that perhaps weren’t even taken into account. “VAR, some delays, the other team was understandably like that, but the referee has to look into that, perhaps with further delays. This is a result that upsets us because we would have liked to have had points and been better in the overall standings.”

Whether it blew her away: “Sif footballers aren’t supposed to ruin us. I don’t know if my team plays with different rules with the new rules, but with the specific rules in 2023, other measures should be taken, more minutes of stoppage time, a VAR check.

That is, understandable things, nothing crazy. We shouldn’t be affected by such things. We will do our best to continue the championship. There is still a lot to do, there is a new coach, we have to improve things. We look forward. There’s not much we can do about this game because it’s over.”

About what makes Olympiacos different: “We have a slightly different system, we need to work on some details in both defense and attack. We are on the right track, we are trying to adapt. There are still a few days until the next game and I believe we will be even more ready to show an even better face, win Lamia and achieve our goal.”

For Carvalhal: “He is a coach who works a lot and in detail on some tactical parts that we needed defensively. In attack we are more compact, we play more organized, sometimes simpler. Combined with the individual quality we have in the midfielders, we can do that. “I don’t want to do more things in the future. I don’t want them to be more careful in the future when I explain something further, because we are also a team and we play, and we want to act and play as equals.

For the world and a message to them before 2024: “We thank them for the first semester in which they were at our side. I hope that from the new year other measures will be taken and everything will change. If this continues until February, I hope they will still be there after that because we need them.”
