Ponce: “Almeida wanted me last year too – I’m enjoying it at AEK”

THE Ezekiel Ponce revealed speaking to Relevo that Matias Almeida she wanted him since last year AEK. The Argentinian forward said that he enjoys his presence at “Union”, while he added that he wants to win titles with him and revealed his big dream, which is to play for the Argentine national team.

In detail, the 26-year-old ace:

– his return to AEK: “I’m fine and happy with the opportunity to be here again. With a lot of competition and obligations, trying to prove things in Greece and in Europe. And I enjoy it because we have important things ahead of us.”

– the collaboration with Almeida: “He was the one who invited me to go to AEK. He already called me last year and we had a nice chat. And I was left with desire. This year we spoke again and what I like about him is how transparent he is with the players. He warns us that no one is guaranteed a spot and that he tries to make as few mistakes as possible when choosing who will play and who won’t. And then what is near, what is human, which I did not find in all places. He is not that well known, but I think he will become very well known as a coach. He has very big ambitions and that’s what motivates us too.”

– the new stadium of AEK and the world of the team: “The team’s new stadium has a smaller capacity than the previous one, but it is so closed that it is very similar to Argentina. It gives you that adrenaline that runs through your body, that’s one of the reasons we play and enjoy football so much. They look like the Argentinians.”

– AEK’s course in the Europa League: “The next matches are pivotal, the two against Marseille are important and will determine what happens in the group. We are capable of success and we proved it in the first matches. With the same ambition, with the same commitment, we will go to Marseille to get the three points.”

-what he is looking for now in his career: “Now I’m looking for a little more stability, which is what AEK offered me when they hired me. I hope to finish my contract here.”

– the collaboration with Arauchos: “It is a phenomenon, The truth is that from the first day I arrived it was as if we had been there for a long time. He gave me everything I needed as soon as I arrived.”

-his football dreams: “As a player I would like to be a champion with AEK now in all the competitions we compete in. I know it’s kind of crazy, but it’s ambitions and I believe ambitions are there to be set and achieved. I would also like to play with the national team at some point, which is the first goal you set when you start playing football and see the Argentina shirt.”
