Terzis: “A victory over OFI will be the medicine to change our psychology”

Statements ahead of the away match between Aris and OFI (20/8, 19:30) for the premiere of the Stoiximan Super League was made by Tolis Terzis.

The coach of the “yellows” spoke about the bad psychology that exists in his team after the elimination by Dynamo Kyiv, making it clear that a possible victory over the Cretans will be the medicine for his players.

What Aris’ coach said in detail:



“There is bitterness in the team and in the world because we should have qualified because we were better than the opposition and had more chances. Unfortunately we didn’t succeed because we didn’t have good final actions but also luck. We have to continue, we have two days to manage this situation in view of the match with OFI and especially the psychology of the children. They are saddened by the result and tired of the great effort. We also have to look at the situation of the players who requested a change”.

On what his team needs to change: “I don’t think the opponents created phases for us as they had three moments and scored two goals. On the contrary, we produced more final efforts but did not have a good finish. We have to look at the psychology of our players and manage fatigue. The big teams have to react after a negative result and that’s what we have to do. A victory over OFI is the medicine to change the psychology of the players”.

For OFI: “We saw his friendlies, he has a good squad with important additions and it’s just as important that he has the same coach as last year. It is clear that a difficult game awaits us in a stadium that will be full”.
