Olympiacos are just 90 minutes away from creating history by potentially becoming the first Greek club to win a European trophy when they face Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final. However, their manager Jose Luis Mendilibar emphasized that they will maintain their usual approach for this crucial match.
Mendilibar stressed the importance of staying composed and sticking to the strategies that have brought them to the final. He expressed that altering their methods at this stage would be unwise and highlighted the significance of treating this game like any other, as it has been their consistent approach that has led them to this pivotal moment.
While reflecting on their journey to the final, Mendilibar pointed out a remarkable game where they overturned a 4-1 deficit from the first leg against Maccabi Tel Aviv, ultimately winning 6-1 after extra-time. This remarkable comeback showcased the team's resilience and unwavering determination.
Mendilibar, who guided Sevilla to Europa League triumph last season, took charge of Olympiacos in February after their exit from the Europa League. He acknowledged the challenging and diverse path they have traversed, portraying it as a marathon that has brought them back to Athens for the defining match of their season.
