Giannikis: “It is unfair for people to blame Melissanidis”

THE AEK will be hosted by Mars on Wednesday (02/02) with the coach of the Union, Argyri Gianniki, to make statements in view of the match.

For the fact that after 36 years AEK suffered three consecutive defeats at home: “It is offensive and unacceptable.”

For the two faces that AEK showed in the match with Volos and for the physical condition of the team: “When I started at AEK we were talking about physical and mental development. To put it more simply, the physical condition at that time was not at the level we wanted. A lot of work is being done to improve it, which is not easy during the season. “There was an imbalance with the injuries, the coronavirus, we did not all train together, but the bases are entering another part of the season”.

For the changes he made in the match with Volos: “The changes, especially Garcia’s, were made to protect the players, as there was an update at halftime from the medical team and we acted accordingly.”

For François’s transfer: “He is a player who came to help and that is why he was acquired.”

For frustration and if there is pressure: “The bad results first of all bring frustration to all of us in charge. I do not feel pressure, I have goals and vision and as long as they do not progress I am unimaginably sad. I want the people of AEK to be happy, to be proud of the team and I am very, very sorry for the last three home games we lost “.

For the conversation with Melissanidis: “Mr. Melissanidis is looking to provide us with everything we need. I think it is unfair for people to blame him because he is a man who does everything for AEK. He is its leader. He does not play, he does not coach, nor does he suggest players. “All of us in the football department have to take on our responsibilities and work harder to improve things.”

For the game with Mars: “Aris is a quality team, it works for a long time with the same coach, so it has automation and coherence. It was difficult for us in the first match to win at home. In the situation we are in we have to reach the maximum performance to win this match and it is one of our most difficult games until the start of the play offs “.
