"Olympiacos" head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar spoke about the first leg of the Champions League play-off stage against "Bayer".
Idman.Biz reports that the Greek team defeated "Leverkusen" 2:0 in the main stage.
"We performed well overall in the Champions League; we exceeded our expectations by taking 18th place, ahead of teams with larger budgets. Now we want to [repeat this result] against a team that is in good form. This is a new game. Just because we beat them last time doesn't mean we will win or lose this time.
It is very important to manage our chances effectively. We played against teams that had less possession than us and they still scored goals. "We were close to scoring several times in recent games, but we couldn't. That's football. We have to be as effective as we were in the first game against "Bayer", - Mendilibar said on UEFA's official website.
