OFI President: 'Sky is the limit' after Europa League draw, citing Olympiacos' path

OFI's president, Michalis Boussios, declared "sky is the limit" for the Cretan club following their Europa League League Phase draw. He pointed to Olympiacos' European success, particularly their Conference League victory, as a roadmap for Greek teams aiming for prominence on the continent. Boussios emphasized that Olympiacos "showed the way" for other Greek clubs like AEK, Panathinaikos, and OFI itself to "believe they can do what Olympiacos did."

“

It is an incredible moment for us, for the team, for the whole island, for the fans and my family. I want to thank everyone who supported us and I hope we make Greece, the whole island and OFI fans proud.

Speaking to COSMOTE TV after the draw in Monaco, Boussios expressed immense pride in the moment, calling it "an incredible time for us, for the team, for the whole island, for the fans and my family." He thanked supporters and vowed to make Greece, Crete, and OFI fans proud. Boussios also highlighted the importance of the Conference League win for inspiring Greek football, urging all participating teams to "give our best, move forward, and make football even more beautiful in Greece."

“

For me, sky is the limit. The sky is the limit. Marinakis showed us the way, that in Greece Greek teams can believe they can do what Olympiacos did.

While acknowledging the difficulty of the domestic league, Boussios confirmed OFI's focus on performing well in their three competitions. He expressed confidence in the team's current squad, which features a strong Greek core supplemented by other players. "We will play as best we can," he stated, adding that the team "must dream of the best."

The Conference League win helped Greece to dream. And the rest of the teams, like now AEK, us, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, must try for the best.

Regarding transfers, Boussios indicated that the roster is largely complete, with the potential addition of a striker if an exceptional opportunity arises. He stressed that any new signing must significantly benefit the team, stating, "we won't sign someone just to sign them." His son, Dimitris Boussios, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing a game-by-game approach: "We will take one game at a time, that's how we think, we will do our best. Everything is possible for us."

We must give our best, move forward and make football even more beautiful in Greece.
