Almeida: “Pelios played a good game – With empty stands it was as if we were playing in a square”

With the right hand in 2024 entered the AEKwhich had Levia Garcia and Pelio in the lead role, prevailed 3-0 of Volos at the licensed OPAP Arena for matchday 16 of the Stoiximan Super League.

With his statements after the end of the match, Mr Matias Almeida, he stood on the way the victory came, on the debut of Pelios in the eleven, but also on the empty stadiums.

The statements of Matias Almeidas in detail:

“First of all I wish everyone a beautiful 2024. We wanted the three points. We had a way to hunt them down. I think we played a good game. Volos changed the way they play. At first he pushed and made it difficult for us until we broke them. From then on, I think we were superior.”

For the “maiden” presence of Pelios in the starting line-up: “I’m happy when I put in young players and they perform. It is true that they have to come in little by little. He played well, as did his teammates. He needs to pick up more pace and keep improving.”

For the empty stands: “Football like this is a bit sad. Football is a spectacle, a passion, a family. You can win, lose, draw. The way we play, it’s like we’re competing in a square.”
