He sees his struggle as an opportunity Olympiacu with Nantes (3/11, 19:45) for the sixth round of the Europa League, Mitchell. The champions take on the French team in a low-scoring meeting after being eliminated from European competition.

At the pre-match press conference, the coach of Spain said that his team would look for answers. At the same time, her attention will be focused on the big derby with Panathinaikos for the Greek championship.

“We are used to playing in two tournaments. In this sense, there are no problems. We know the importance of Sunday’s match against Panathinaikos, but it’s very important to play for the team in every match. It is difficult that we were left outside of Europe so early. We were close until the last minute of the game with Freiburg. We can’t change anything. What we need to do is constantly improve our team and that’s what we do,” Mitchell initially said.

Regarding whether this match is an opportunity for some of his players and how he sees the match against the French team, Mitchell explained: “Coaching Olympiacos is an honor and a privilege. Even in friendly matches I will do my best to represent him. I must say that my love for Olympiacos motivates me here and it gives me strength for games like this one against Nantes. I don’t know if it’s worth saying, we will definitely mean Panathinaikos, but all the players who will compete tomorrow have played in Europe before. And this is definitely a great opportunity to prove him wrong. Coach or … administrator,” he answered the question of whether the match is a chance for one of his players and how he himself sees the match with the French team.

The Spaniard was also asked about his chances at eleven in relation to Sunday’s derby. “They’ll be wearing the same shirt, that’s for sure,” Mitchell said.

The Olympiacos coach answered in French the question “what does Nantes mean to you”. “They are an important team. I met her as a coach in France, I respect and appreciate her very much. For them, maybe the match is more important, but we also have reasons … the prestige to claim the victory,” he said on this occasion.

Finally, on whether it’s dangerous to play with players who haven’t played much together, Mitchell remarked, “It’s an important game for us. We want to end the event with a good image. Whoever plays will mean they can represent Olympiacos perfectly. Sunday match is no excuse. The coach must maintain balance and take risks. Of course, there are priorities, but tomorrow we will show everything we are capable of. And for another reason, for example, Qarabag will watch tomorrow’s match with great interest.”
