Terzis: “It was a penalty and a red by Koulierakis on Garcia – Let’s finish the case Europe”

For his opportunity Mars to “mathematically” end the European ticket case for tomorrow’s (03/05) match with Bullet at “Kleanthis Vikelidis” he spoke Tolis Terzis.

At the same time, the “yellow” coach stood by his statements to NOVA and the Toumba derby, saying that Koulierakis’ phase with Mateo Garcia is a clear penalty and a red card to the defender of the “double-headed of the North”.

The statements of Tolis Terzis to NOVA in detail:

“I want to express my sorrow for the loss of Pavlos Myroforidis and give my condolences to his family. Pavlos contributed to our team in the 2017-2018 season and in general he contributed to Greek football».

For the Toumba derby: “I saw the PAOK game again yesterday. I still can’t understand, I still have questions, about the elimination phase and the penalty, which the referee didn’t give. I’m talking about Mateo Garcia’s phase with Koulierakis. I wonder how the referee didn’t see it and I also wonder how VAR didn’t see it. He had to be called to correct his mistake. It’s a question that many people have and it has nothing to do with which team one supports, but with football in general. Mateo and I discussed the phase at halftime of the match. He told me that the opponent pulled him on his left shoulder».

For tomorrow’s game with Volos: “We had a discussion with the footballers yesterday. We discussed the game with PAOK and said that we should put it behind us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get what we wanted. Our mind has been on the game with Volos since yesterday. We want the victory! We want to increase the gap to ten points and finish the European case mathematically».

On whether his players have fully understood the importance of tomorrow’s match, so that they are fully focused on it, as he himself has requested: “The players have understood after the Easter break the importance of all these games in the playoffs. We want them to be as focused and disciplined as they were in the games at Panthessalikos, against Olympiakos and PAOK, in tomorrow’s game as well, to play good football and get the three points».

On how he expects Volos to approach the match: “In all the games in the playoffs, Volos has changed its playing behavior compared to the regular season. It goes very packed, with a different layout. He did the same in his previous match against Olympiakos. We expect the opponent to do the same with us tomorrow, to be composed and try to hit on the counter, which he does very well. We have pointed this out to our own players and we need to pay attention to it».

On how Ares should line up in tomorrow’s game: “We will definitely have more of the ball at our feet. We will have possession. We have to move, run, to open up spaces. First of all, however, we must have peace of mind. We shouldn’t be stressed. It is not necessary to score a goal from the first minute! It may take a while for the goal to come, but we have to be calm. We have to get the right distances and make the right moves to create phases to execute. In these phases we have to be precise».
