Varela: “We are 7 points behind Olympiakos and we have to wake up”

Clarifications for his statement after the end of the match with Atromitos were given PAOK stopper Fernando Varela, who spoke at the standard press conference before the game with Slovan Bratislava for the 5th game of the Europa Conference League (25/11, 19:45).

In detail what he said:

– For his statement after the end of the match with Atromitos: “Yes, I may not have said what I wanted to say. There is no one else who believes in this team more than the footballers themselves. Every morning we wake up and go to training in order to improve, to pass the mentality that the coach wants and to win titles by writing history with the PAOK jersey. I have been since 2016 and I am lucky to be one of the leaders of the team, together with my other teammates, such as Vierinia, Paschalakis, Crespo, we have a… double role and we have to give a shock to the others, so that they understand everyone in which team they play. We are 7 points behind Olympiakos, it is time to wake up. We must react in every way and reverse the situation. “If we did not believe we would not have a place, we would not deserve to be in this team and play for this world.”

– For the comparison with the double team: “I know there is talk of my performance. I work every day to improve, I know myself and I know that I give everything on the field. I want to become better and reach the performance I had before. “Razvan may be old, but it is still a new situation and we must all once again enter together as a team in the mentality he wants to pass on to us.”

– For the match against Slovan Bratislava: “The game is very important for us to move to Europe. We are in PAOK and we go to every game to win. “Slovan is a good team, it plays at home, we have the opportunity to pass and we do not want to think about the draw because if you enter the field with this logic then you will την press it”.
