THE Olympic asked to put the draw with Eindhoven in the Champions League behind him, as the match with Kifissia in the Super League and Jose Luis Mendiliber spoke about the different way his team should compete in the two competitions.
Jose Luis Medilibar spoke to Cosmote TV about the match against Eindhoven, as well as Kifissia – Olympiacos, noting that his team must change the… chip ahead of the match for the Greek Super League.
Mendiliber’s statements
For the image of his team at Champions League: “It is true that the Champions League it is a very difficult event and we may not get the results we would like so far, but we are satisfied with the fact that in all the games we stood up to the event and the requirements. In general we have played good games, but those are in the past and now we have to concentrate on our next game”.
On how easy it is for his team to bounce back both physically and mentally after Tuesday’s effort: “The time was enough for us to recover. We played on Tuesday night and we had enough days to at least rest and get our physical condition back to good levels. Psychologically we have to turn the chip and focus on the Greek league. In my opinion the best way to overcome a bad night is to play the next game as soon as possible.”
For the match with Kifissia: “Kifisia is a good team and they will certainly give their best to create dangers for us. In these games the difficulty is that you usually have the ball and attack, but if you lose your concentration even for a moment then they can steal the ball from you and with a counterattack they can hurt you. That’s why we have to be focused throughout the game.”
