Anigo: “The result in the first match at Leoforos was unfair, we did not succeed due to a refereeing error”

THE Jose Anigo he started his coaching tenure at right-back Olympic and now he has before him the challenge of the away derby with Panathinaikos.

A few days before the Avenue, the French technician did statements on Cosmote TV and among others, referred to the 1-1 of the 1st round characterizing the result is unfair.

There was also a comment about big win against PAOK but also the preparation of his team.

What he said in detail:



For the match with PAOK:

“The truth is that we only had 24 hours to prepare this game, but we managed to implement everything we had planned. This is due to the footballers because when they are focused and give everything, as they did against PAOK, then we see that everything is easier”.



For the coach’s work in the preparation of an “eternal” derby:



“I agree, it’s always easier for the coach. As far as mental preparation is concerned, you must control the emotions, positive or negative, that may arise during the match. However, you don’t need to talk to anyone about the importance of the fight. All my players know how important this match is and they are ready to give everything.”



On whether he thinks football owes him something from this year’s derby with Panathinaikos:



“First of all, talking about the first game at the home of Panathinaikos, my opinion is that the result was unfair. We really deserved to win and we didn’t because of a wrong decision by the referee. In the second game we were also much better. Now we will face them again. I don’t know if fate will be on our side this time. If we manage to win it will be because of our good performance. We will try in the two days we have to prepare the game and work on the plan we will follow. If we are as we should be physically and mentally, I hope that this time we will win”.

On what he sees as the ‘key’ to victory on Sunday:



“Discipline is the most important thing. We will have to show the discipline we showed in the previous game when we stayed committed to the plan even when we conceded the goal from PAOK and continued to try to do what we had said. I think that in modern football a lot depends on the tactics, so we have to stick to ours and stick to it. We have to be united on the pitch, play together very well in defense and attack. For that to happen we have to have the necessary discipline, so I think that’s the key.”



As for whether Valbuena at this age can play in a second consecutive starting match and indeed within a few days:



“You’ll find out on Sunday.”
