Jonsson: “Amazing result, but we still have one more match”

Jens Jonson emphasized that when AEK conceded the goal from Aris, they endured and made the upset without playing the football they would have liked, he thinks they took a step towards the title, but there is also the match of next Sunday against Volos, he stood in the development of the match at “Karaiskakis” and described the teamwork and quality of the players as the secret to success.

Analytically: “It was an amazing result. What I want to say, though, is that there are 90′-95′ left. When we conceded the goal, we kept our faith. To be honest, it wasn’t our best performance, but we showed character. We believed that one way or another we would get the win. That shows character, it shows personality. A champion has to win whether he’s on a good day or not.”

As for whether he already feels like a champion, he said: “No, not at all. To be honest, it was a huge step, we can’t deny that. If we have a bad game on Sunday, anything can happen. So we have to put on a good performance, get the win and finish.”

As to whether Almeida “forbade” them to know the result in “Karaiskakis”: “It is information that is secret. People would prefer it to be this way, but we are human. For better or for worse, we would find out the result in the next game. Some were watching via phone, people in the back were commenting. So, we found out when a goal was scored. The coach’s rationale is very good, I completely agree, but it was probably impossible.”

Finally, he was asked about the secret of this year’s AEK: “We are a team. We have great players, but no one is above the team. It is generally the organization, the players, the team, the fans, the employees. We are a unit. Everyone offers, everyone appreciates.”
