Olympiacos is a strong team,” Çalhanoğlu told Sky. “Cutrone and I did well, we pressed and we played well, Patrick scored two important goals. What were the requests of Gattuso when he subbed us in? To press… it wasn’t easy to get in and do well but I think I did well together with Cutrone.
“Gattuso? I want to thank him, he often thinks of me, he always talks to me, also when I don’t play well. He knows that I have quality, I want to continue like on Thursday. We need to do well and on Sunday against Chievo it will be an important game for us. We want to win at home.”
Hakan also spoke to UEFA.com: “I’m very happy, not only for myself but also for the team. After the Sassuolo game we won again and this is the right way and what we needed and we had to continue like this against Olympiacos. It was not an easy game, they are a good team.
“They scored in the first half at our home and to come back is not easy but in the second half we gave everything to change the score and we did very well, and we won the game and that’s important.”
