Almeida: “Fair result – I don’t know if it was the worst game with me on the bench”

THE OFI took the lead in the 5′ and perfectly limiting her AEK throughout the match, he scored another goal in the 83rd minute and got another great win (2-0) at “Jedi Koule”!

After the match, Matias Almeida spoke at the press conference and described the Cretan victory as fair, stressing that his team tried to play in the same way as usual, but it did not have the efficiency of OFI.

What Matias Almeida said in detail at the press conference:

On whether AEK played the worst game with him on the bench: “I don’t know if it was the worst game, it’s true that we made some mistakes again. We conceded a quick goal and on a pitch where the opposition are playing well, we knew things could get complicated if we conceded a goal. At some moments we found the way to get closer to the opponent’s goal and at some moments we entered a game that was not clear. Obviously, OFI also has some value and some advantages and we have some things that we need to improve, but the consecutive games have also played a role.

The truth is that the players give everything and maybe the legs don’t follow the will, but the opponent played well, both with his strategy, he was successful, he was accurate and now I just saw the numbers and based on them that’s what we usually do. 500 passes, 85% in efficiency, I can’t remember if it’s 12 or 13 shots of which 4 went on target. We had possession of the ball in a difficult game, based on these numbers I saw a team that plays at a similar pace and on the other hand I see the efficiency that the opponent had. The opponent had about 100%, much less finals reached the opponent’s goal but with efficiency and in football you have to score goals and you have to avoid being scored on.”

On whether he thinks OFI’s victory is fair based on the numbers he cited: “The result is fair. That’s why I spoke about the effectiveness of the opponent and for that I congratulate him.”
