It's time for a deed. It is time to go against all evidence and use all the resources at your disposal for a mission that, at first glance, seems impossible.
Olympiacos can become the second Greek team to reach a final of a major UEFA competition after Panathinaikos in 1970/71. They also come from victories in four of their last five games and have an inspired attacker in Ayoub El Kaabi, top scorer in the Conference League with 8 goals after his hat-trick in England.
But at Aston Villa they are convinced of the feat and that is why the captain, John McGinn, bets everything on his teammates: "Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong... It is up to us to go to Athens and change the situation, because I know we are capable."
Coach Unai Emery was also on the same line: "We will try to come back, but they are favorites. We will play there trying to show something different. What do we need to improve? Everything. We conceded four goals, we lost many balls. We are very motivated and excited. It is a It was a very good time to play in the semifinal and we lost the first leg. We will have the second chance."
The
challenge is to take advantage of the individual value of your players and not throw anything away. For that, he could take risks and add men in attack, which gives a chance to Jhon Durán, who has not been more consistent but has known how to take advantage of every minute that his coach gives him. It will not be time for caudillismos but for being solid and working as a team backwards and forwards on the field. The worst has already happened. Now everything has to be profit.
