THE Olympic prepares for the premiere of the season against Star Tripolis In the Super League and Jose Luis Mendilibar talked about the start of the championship, as well as the 19 -year -old Pulmonides.
The absences of Kabelas, Strefitsa and Martins at Olympiacos – Asteras Tripolis, have brought Pulmonide to the gates of the eleven for the Piraeus, but Mendilibar stressed on Cosmote TV that he would claim a basic position even if there were no basic position.
Mendilibar’s statements
For his first thoughts in view of the start of the season: “My first thought is to make a good start to get into the season properly. The three weeks we spent in the Netherlands were very good.
We came back with good images from our team and we think the start of the season will go well. But you don’t know this until you play the first game. “
For how difficult it is to present an Olympic better than last year: “We would come together to achieve the same thing we achieved last season. We won the Cup and finished in the top eight places in the Europa League.
I imagine this will be much more difficult this year in the Champions League. What we want is to have a good picture of all the events, to play well and to have a smoothness in our season. “
For the match with Aster Tripolis: “It is true that we were defeated last year in Tripoli and we could not even win them at our headquarters. From what I have seen, Asteras continues to have the same momentum that he had last year and maintains the same level.
We hope to make a good game because we know we will need to suffer during the game. We have to play very well, keeping a high level so that we can deal with this team seriously.
It will be even more difficult because of the empty court, as when our world is there, it gives us great strength. If we want to win, we must be serious and concentrated throughout the game. “
Whether the absences in the attack present an opportunity for Pulmonide: “Even if we had no absence, again Pulmonides could take a place in the original form.”
