Aris will be hosted by AEK on Sunday (29/01, 19:30) for the 20th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
The goalkeeper of the “yellows” Julian Cuesta he spoke ahead of the game and said that his team should put behind them the exclusion from Olympiakos and compete as a big team.
“We have to change our psychological mood, because we know that it is a very important game (against AEK). We have difficulties with injuries, but whoever we are, we are going to win this derby! We look ahead, that’s what we have to do. More generally, we definitely have to have player returns, because we have to chase the goal of Europe. We have to finish as high as possible in the standings.”
On the team’s level of concentration and the reaction required, he said: “It’s not easy. We are professionals, though, and we have to do it. We are upset, but we cannot look back, except for the match against AEK. Above all, to regain our self-confidence. We have to go and play as a big team. Let’s intensify our efforts for victory. Of course, we have many capable players to claim the positive result. It is true that AEK is one of the best teams this season. We are always competitive against the other big teams. We know we will have our moments and we have to take advantage of them.”
Regarding the sale of Daniel Mancini and the serious injury of Manu Garcia, he stated that: “The truth is that it hurts us that Mancini left and went to a competitive team. We’re players and people, though, and we wish him the best for the rest of his career. As for Manu, it is hard to digest what happened to him. We must be with him, next to him, support him. He has difficult months ahead of him. I wish him a speedy recovery.”
