THE Argentinean speaking to Nova, the coach described the match against Aris as difficult, while underlining that how a player responds to this difficult turn of the league is something purely personal.

Here are his statements…

About the players situation.

The team is slowly recovering, mainly from consecutive games. We are preparing for an important game, a very important game.

For the last minutes in the match with Olympiakos

I didn’t know what the other game was like. I was completely focused on our own game, maybe we could manage and score a goal, but calm because I could see that things were going well. If I had just arrived, they told me that this season the team would be in the final and fight for the championship, I would have signed for 100 years.

For the match with Aris

A difficult match, with a team that in my opinion plays very well, an opponent that plays with speed that plays as a team very well, a very good system that plays as a team, we are still in the playoffs and all games are difficult .

For the psychology of the players at this crucial juncture of the championship

This is purely personal. There are players who are calm, others who have more intensity, others who seem to be playing with their friends, I think it has a lot to do with the life each one has led and the principles they have as a footballer. What we can convey to the footballers and what they are ready to follow. The truth is that our footballers are doing very well, if we analyze the matches, where we had more tension is where we played better and above all they have given everything. There is a lot of competition in the league and there are two games left.
