In detail, what he said to the Cosmote TV camera:
His message about the tragedy in Tempe: “I think that from the day you met me, you will have understood that I live football in a special way. Giving it the importance it deserves like football. But I give enormous importance to life itself. I value respect and happiness very much. And I am deeply saddened when such tragedies happen. I was very affected by what happened in Turkey. It saddens me that there was and continues to be war on the planet. And I am very saddened by this tragedy that happened with the trains. Really, many times man, through such tragedies, understands how important human life is. It is sad. People stand in solidarity when these tragedies happen. But the truth is that every day we should show our solidarity. I would like, through the interview, to express my condolences to every person who has lost a relative. It is truly an event that has caused grief throughout the world.”
For the game against OFI: “For us all the games are important, every day we say the same thing. We will face an opponent who tries and has a nice style of football. Through his own game he tries to earn points and wins. He has a very good system, we respect him completely like all our opponents. We, however, are going to play our own game.”
On whether he is worried about the absences in the attack: “No. We have guys who can play in that position and obviously we expect the absentees to come back quickly. I have complete confidence in the group I coach.”
Regarding the extent to which his plans differ, with the definition of the match against Atromitos between the matches with OFI and Olympiakos, given that the players’ recovery time after the matches is reduced, but also in relation to the absences that AEK is facing :“Obviously everything is changing. We should change every workout, every day. Because it is true that we waited a long time to see what would happen and finally the decision came out on a sad day”.
