He talked about his derby – AEK, with Vasco coach referring to Ese’s absence, but also that in such games there are no excuses. José Luis Medilibar referred to the goal Olympiacos has in the great Super League 12th race derby against the AEK (Sunday 24/11/24, 20:30) with Vasco standing in Santiago Ese’s misfortune who will not be able to play in the game. At the same time “Medi” also spoke of the love he has to see the Piraeus team in other sports, and made it clear that there are no excuses in such games. In detail what José Luis Medilibar said about the fact that he is watching in person other Olympiacos sports: “I like him. I love going to other sports. I always have. Volleyball is the first time I’ve been there and I really liked it. I had never been there before, but they told me we were playing with a good German team for the Champions League and I said “why not?”. I’m having a great time watching our team in other sports. I’m having fun. As far as the world is concerned, I am very grateful because it is true that wherever I go, wherever I am the world that shows his love. I went to basketball with my brother-in-law last time. When people saw us, they started clapping and my brother-in-law went crazy. He told me he’d never been dumped before. Of course they did for me, but we still had a great time. I generally like being where Olympiacos plays.” For the status of the group after interruption: “The team is very good. We had enough time to rest the players, but also to cure those who had problems, such as Rodinay and Ortega. The players who were missing with their Nationals have all returned well. We only had one misfortune in a practice with Ese. The team must have no excuse. Against AEK we must be ready and if things are not going well then it will be something else and not the interruption and condition of players.” For the game with AEK and last year’s games: “Significance has the effect. When we played at their headquarters we lost in the last minute in a game that we were quite good at. Few remember how you played when you lost. So that leaves us losing 1-0. The goal is playing well, but mostly winning. We know each other very well with AEK and on Sunday they will play two good teams at a very good pace in their game. Our goal is to make a very good game and win it.” For Lamela: “I know Lamela very well from our partnership in Seville. It was a little short because I didn’t stay there long, but as long as it lasted we worked very well. He’s an amazing footballer, an amazing man and I wish him all the best. Of course in this game we hope to win, but he is an amazing footballer and if he plays it will make us very difficult.” From Olympiacos footballers Ayub El Kaabi spoke who said about the game with AEK: “It’s a very important game that we have before us against the AEK and we really want to win it. We have prepared very well, we are in good condition, I think we have a very good team and what remains is to be focused throughout the game, because that is the most important thing. It’s a game we want and we have to win it. The fact that we’re equal makes it even more important for which team will be found chasing each other. However, I say again that we are a very good team, we have excellent players and we must win.” For his impressive score performance: “I will do anything, I will give everything for the team. I want every game to score goals and do what’s best for my team. This is my job and I will do anything to help the team with many goals.”
