Anigo: “We want to end the year in the best possible way”

THE Olympic he will give his best in the derby with Panathinaikos, as he did with AEK, as stated by Jose Anigo speaking to Cosmote TV.

The French coach emphasized that the Piraeus will give 110% against the “clover”since their goal is to make the best possible finale to the season.

In detail what Jose Anigo said to COSMOTE TV

For the team’s preparation ahead of the derby with Panathinaikos: “We are currently trying to recover from the game with AEK because we spent a lot of energy there and to concentrate on our next game. It’s not always easy when you have back-to-back games, every three days, to find your concentration, especially when it comes to derbies. As we have said before, our goal is to finish the year in the best way possible and to win the next two games.”

On what Olympiacos should fix compared to the last “eternal” derby: “There is a plan, but I’m not going to announce it right now. I’ll keep it to ourselves. Our goal is to win the game and to do that we need to minimize our mistakes. We should be very different in this area compared to the last time we faced Panathinaikos. We must not “give” them anything this time. Last time we “gifted” the first goal to Panathinaikos and then things became very difficult for us. This time we want a very organized plan, a serious team, as we were against AEK. If we have maximum seriousness and maximum concentration, I think we have the quality to be able to win.”

As to whether it is an additional motivation to deprive the “eternal” rival of the championship: “The fact that we are playing against Panathinaikos is really an additional motivation for us and in no way do we want to “help” them to win the championship, as we wanted exactly the same against AEK. Our goal is to win all these games. We really tried to beat AEK and we will do the same on Sunday against Panathinaikos. There is no other option but to win this game. We will do it for our fans, we will do it for ourselves because it is not only the world, we ourselves have pride and our pride tells us that we must win this match as well as the Toumba match to finish the year in a good way. Honestly, we don’t care at all which of the two wins the championship. It doesn’t concern us at all. Our job is to win all the games.”

On whether he is thinking of starting again with three central midfielders: “You will learn this on Sunday. I can’t tell you now. What matters is that the players who will be on the pitch give 100%, if not 150% of their strength. What I can assure you is that all the players really want us to win.”

On whether he is dealing with injury problems: “Apart from Cisse who has some problems, everyone else is available.”
