Olympiacos manager Martins relishing clash with new Spurs boss Mourinho in UCL

  /  autty

Olympiacos head coach Pedro Martins insists his side are not scared of Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho.

'We are here to represent Olympiacos, we are well aware that Tottenham are a very strong team, we know how tough it will be,' he said.

'But it is Olympiacos versus Tottenham. Mourinho is an excellent manager, we respect him, but we are not afraid of him.'

Mourinho has had a whirlwind time since taking the job and is preparing for his second game in three days.

And Martins is hoping he can catch Mourinho cold.

'We know Jose Mourinho, but it is the first time we play against him as a Tottenham manager,' he added.

'We don't know how he is going to set up his team, but at the same time he doesn't know how we are going to set up.

'Tomorrow is a very important game and after we are expecting a reaction of the players. We worked hard to get to the group stage of the Champions League and we will do our best.

'We are here against a very big team but we have ambitions and we expect to act in a positive way.'
