The Eredivisie side is currently competing in both the domestic league and the Europa competition, with Olympiakos being a formidable opponent that is eager to win. Chery acknowledged the challenge, stating that NEC needs to focus on capitalising on their own chances rather than worrying about the pressure of the schedule.
"We know that Olympiakos is determined to win," Chery said. "Now, we need to look at what we can do to make the most of our opportunities." The NEC captain also dismissed concerns about the fitness of the team's young players, who may be carrying minor injuries. "Of course, the young players may have some niggles, but playing two to three games a week should not be a problem. Every player should be fit enough for that."
NEC will need to draw on their collective strength and resilience to overcome the challenges ahead, particularly with Olympiakos pushing for a win. The team's ability to adapt and perform under pressure will be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
