THE Olympic begins his duties at Stoiximan Super Leagueconfronting in “Karaiskakis” him Panseraicbehind closed doors due to a suspension from the previous season.
THE Diego Martinez she spoke into her camera COSMOTE TV for the opening match of the championship, he referred to the gradual building of his team, while he did not fail to comment on the transfers.
Martinez’s statements in detail:
For the league premiere and the team’s goals: “First of all, we are very ambitious and very impatient for the start of the championship. It’s nice to start the league at our stadium.
We have many goals, but the main thing is to see the team develop, give their best and never forget what our identity is, our style of football and what team we want to be. So we start with great ambitions, knowing that in the Greek league we have very important rivals”.
On how he plans to manage the two games a week: “The first thing we have to do is build our identity. We want a team that knows what it is asking, first of all, from itself. At the same time, we want a team that will be able to adapt according to the requirements of each match, according to the requirements set by each opponent.
That’s why we have to be a stable team in everything we do. To have a balance between defense and attack, to be familiar with what we want from our static phases and transitions. All this is needed in modern football and we want to be a team that plays modern football.
First of all we need to lay the groundwork. To build our identity about which group we want to be. We still have arrivals of footballers who need to get to know each other, integrate and learn what we want to be. Then we have to be an efficient team.
We have to get used to playing two or three times a week and be able to change faces depending on the opponent. We will also need to refresh both our legs and our minds for this important thing is whoever is competing to give their best. We want to be a team that will use everyone because for everyone the moment will come when they will be needed and for that everyone must be ready at all times.”
On when the team will be close to what he has in mind: “You can never determine this because the timing of the players who come is completely different. A player who came a month ago is not the same as someone who came yesterday. Everything has its time. Everything takes time in this process. In general, I believe that we should have a plan for exactly what we are asking of everyone, but how this will work out cannot be determined in time.
He also does not know what can happen because the market will be open for another 20 days or so and a lot can happen. Therefore, we must be a close team and everyone gives the best they can. We are happy to have achieved the first goal of the year and are now focusing on the next goals. We want to be competitive, organized and play good football. When we will be 100% ready depends on the timing of arrivals.
The first thing we look at right now before every game is which players are available, how many can play for more minutes and how many for less. With these data and with the analysis of the opponent, starting from the match with Panserraikos, we will decide who can give their best.”
For the match with Panserraikos: “Right now we need the maximum concentration of all football players and better continuity in our game, which results from better passing quality.
Concentration is needed to be able to choose the right time to attack. We want our game to develop and take advantage of the moments we create. We know that like all the teams we will face, Panserraikos will try to make it difficult for us and will give everything.
Pace, mentality and concentration I think are very important. All these are elements that we will need in the match to be able to complete the chain. At the same time, we have to be smart. To be quick but not hasty in our choices. This can be a trap.
We also need the speed to be able to take advantage of some situations and of course to be accurate. I think the key word is accuracy.”
On what to expect from the last three transfer acquisitions: “That’s what we ask of everyone. To put their talent at the team’s disposal. To be part of the whole, putting the team above all else. We can already see that they are in a good mood to help. We will give them the time they need to adapt and we will all help them in the best way so that their adaptation is quick and good.”
