Kotsiras-Mancini: “The derby will be decided in the details”

In detail what they said on COSMOTE TV’s Sportshow show in the pregame before the “eternal” derby:

“Olympiacos is a very big club. He has players who will do their duty. They are also trying to show their best selves lately. Their team is up, but I’m looking at ours. We have to do what we did last weekend. I have faced Olympiakos with Aris, I want to score goals to help my team”, said Daniel Mancini.

If indeed Olympiacos wanted to acquire him recently: “Indeed, Olympiacos wanted to acquire me, but in life things come differently from time to time. I decided that Panathinaikos was a great choice to continue my career. It will benefit me personally and my family and I’m really convinced that I made the right decision and I don’t regret it.”



“Olympiacos is a very big team, they have the know-how in the championship, because in recent years they have won it most of the time. Both teams will give everything, because they have extra motivation.” Yiannis Kotsiras emphasized for his part.

On whether the strong seat plays a role in modern football: “The fans don’t play ball, we play. It is a derby that will be decided in the details and we must avoid mistakes. The championship will not be decided in this particular derby but in the playoffs. It will just give a good feeling to whoever wins it.”
