Some things, in the end, can't be hidden, so the showdown happened, no more pretending.
If Lemonis's comment during an interview, "A real monster!" was setting a spark, then Schuster's statements facing the cameras after the match further pushed Chen Zhong to the center of attention.
Francisco kept rolling his eyes on the side. Initially, it was agreed not to let Chen Zhong draw too much media attention, but Schuster, as he spoke, seemed to forget all about it.
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing." Schuster, with his blonde hair, smiled very calmly in front of the camera: "Olympiacos is indeed quite strong, but for us, encountering him is absolutely beneficial."
"This is either the third or fourth time we've faced Olympiacos at home."
"And at least twice, after facing Olympiacos, we've won the Champions League. I think it's a good omen, maybe this time we'll get to the end as well!"
