Akis Manzios expressed his satisfaction that there is an improvement in the competitive image of Aris, but pointed out that he has not yet reached the level of his real potential.
“We are far from what I want and what I believe the team can give. That’s why I say it takes time. With the work we are doing and with the work we will do during the break of the championship, I think we will present ourselves better in the future”he said.
What Akis Manzios said in detail:
About the draw in Toumba with PAOK, which was the first match in the league so far, in which Aris kept a clean sheet in defence:
“From a competitive and psychological point of view, we are in good shape after the match against PAOK. As for the next day, we have some player injury problems and we prepared all week with them for the upcoming game against Panaitolikos.”
On the problems faced by its players:
“First of all, Jurasek and Darida are facing problems. Darida is in better shape than the others and hopefully he will be around for Sunday’s game. Zul will certainly be near us. We will have one more player, although his absence was long. Rupp, who had a knee problem, will not be around. He visited his doctor in Germany and we are waiting for him to return.”
On the upcoming matchup with Panaitolikos and how he is looking forward to it:
“The opponent has its own problems. Despite this, however, it will not be an easy game. What interests us is to see our own team and how we will be. Also, what we’re interested in is seeing how much we can improve each week. However, it will be a different game compared to PAOK, with a completely different approach.”
For the improvement shown by Mars:
“It is a short time that we have been in the team, to say that we can be happy about the improvement of the team. Any signs of improvement are important, but we are a long way from what I want and what I think the team can deliver. That’s why I say it takes time. With the work we are doing and with the work we will do during the break of the championship, I think we will present ourselves better in the future.”
For training
“We have been working all week in the areas of possession and creation. You cannot immediately get the results you want, but there is trust in the group and the work we do. We are optimistic about the continuation. We enter a week with three games and we have to be 100% ready for them.”
