Almeida: “There are still chances, we will fight until the last second”

THE AEK she was competitive, missed many opportunities, but suffered a 2-0 defeat by Marseille at the OPAP Arena as part of the 4th matchday of the Europa League groups.

At the press conference the coach of the Union, Matias Almeidafocused on the goal his team conceded from stoppage time, stressing that the chances of qualification may be less, but they still exist.

“Regarding today’s game there is one key point: the goal we conceded from stoppage time, due to the quality of the opponent. Here I think we played a better game compared to the match in France. In the second half we did well. We created opportunities in a game that the opposition held well. The smallest detail makes a very big difference. We had our own style, we pressed, we forced the opposition to play in a different way, but we didn’t score a goal when we pressed to equalize. Given the characteristics of the opposition, in this quest to equalise, we knew we could have been exposed. He has not clarified anything in the group yet. We will fight until the last second. There are fewer chances, but they still exist. Especially if we play like tonight in an important part of the match“, said the Argentinian technician.
