Olympiacos
(GRE) v Ortigia (ITA) 6-4
Theodoros
Vlachos, coach, Olympiacos:
“It is
a big and important win for us. I was worried because we were the favourites
and Ortigia had nothing to lose. They had some great wins in the
qualifications. We practically haven’t played a game for two months, that’s why
we had some problems at the beginning but we then managed to regroup ourselves.
We had a good control of the game, good defence. They have a great goalie,
Stefano is always good. I’m satisfied with the three points as it is always
important to win the first match.”
Konstantinos
Mourikis, captain, Olympiacos:
“It was
a difficult game where we had a bat start. Ortigia is a good and strong team.
This is a big win for us. We will watch Spandau and take the following matches
day by day. For us, it is important to finally play again since this is our
first match in months.”
Stefano
Piccardo, coach, Ortigia:
“This
was a historic match for the club, the first Champions League game in its
entire 92 years of its history. We made technical mistakes in various aspects
of the game, especially in our man-ups. Olympiacos is an experienced team. It
is an honour for us to play the Champions League. Tomorrow we face Recco, we
will give our best.”
Simone
Rossi, player, Ortigia:
“We can
only regret what happened… We wanted so badly to win this match and clinch our
first 3 points. They are a much more experienced team, got used to play these
kind of games. We are newcomers. Tomorrow we face Recco with our heads high.”
Valentino
Gallo, player, Ortigia:
“We
wanted to do better in this historic match for Ortigia. They know how to play
this type of games. We were victims of our own inexperience. Tomorrow it will
be even harder against Recco, it will be another difficult game. We have to
forget today and concentrate on tomorrow’s match against Recco.”
