Michel says Olympiacos are taking inspiration from their win over Juventus in visiting Turin tomorrow evening in the Champions League.
Ahead of fourth round of group stage action, it was put to the Greeks’ Coach that this game is an opportunity for him to personally avenge the last time he was in the Italian city, as a Real Madrid player when they went 2-0 down to the Bianconeri.
“No, this has nothing to do with that, it is the same place but with a different name,” Michel began in response to reporters.
“I also prefer never to speak about the past, you always remind me. I particularly remember the negative things. Now I am here with another job and another objective.”
That is following up the last round’s 1-0 win over Max Allegri’s side, which was in part inspired by goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez’s saves.
“But the whole team played very well throughout the game. If we think back to that game then I believe that for the whole match we played very well, against a tough and strong opponent.
“This gives us the desire to repeat the result tomorrow, and we will always try to give more than we did in the first leg.
“We do not think about the consecutive wins for Juventus at home [23], we cannot think about that. We do not believe the numbers. I return to the question asked to [David] Fuster, certainly it is a vital game for Juventus, for us it is not so.
“We want to do our best, we hope for the best possible result and we will push for the best possible result.
“Our domestic form isn’t there? It’s a fact, we are doing very well in the Champions League, but we are not in our usual position in the League.
“I always tell the players that the most important thing is not the enemy but the shirt that we wear. Independent of the results.”
