Mendilibar warns Vincenzo Italiano

Mendilibar’s words ahead of the final with Fiorentina

.

José Luis Mendilibar, coach of Olympiacos, presented the Conference League final against Fiorentina in a press conference: "Olympiacos like Sevilla last year? There are so many similarities on how, the starting point and the finishing point. Forò they are different teams and circumstances".

Last year Sevilla triumphed with two Moroccan players in the squad (Bono and En Nesyri, ed.), now the Spanish coach hopes to repeat with El Kaabi and El Arabi: "Sì they also played in similar roles… Especially El Kaabi has made a very good contribution so far with his goals, we owe him a lot".

It is precisely the Moroccan center forward è the number one danger identified by Vincenzo Italiano: "There are ten other players besides El Kaabi, they will also have to worry about those besides the striker, as valuable as he is. Everyone fixates on him, but we have other players: we worry about all of Fiorentina, El Kaabi is not è the only one who can make a difference for Olympiacos".

" We have to stay calm, calm, and do what brought us to the final. It would be a big mistake to change anything, since so far è everything has been positive. We treat this game like the others, è this is the way we got here and we will have to continue like thisì".

"I didn’t take a good look at the players’ eyes and didn’t pay attention to it, but yesterday in training I saw a lot of desire to play the final. I insisted that we have to believe in it and that we have to do the same things for one last game. We will have to give everything tomorrow" concluded Mendilibar.
