THE Sotiris Alexandropoulos returns as his opponent Panathinaikou in Leoforo and, in view of tomorrow’s derby for the Betsson Greek Cup, he made statements to Cosmote TV.
His average Olympiakou he mentioned the special importance of this match for him, as well as the defeat by AEK.
What he said in detail:
On the team’s reaction in the last game:
“We are only satisfied when we combine good football with the three points, however it was certainly a reaction after the poor performance we had against Lamia. We have to combine the reaction with the result and that way we will be satisfied.”
For the derby with Panathinaikos:
“It’s a great derby. We faced Panathinaikos in the league and they are a good team, but if we present ourselves properly and hit their weaknesses we can get a good result in the first game. However, they are double games. Certainly now we are looking at the first, but nothing ends tomorrow.”
On the fact that he returns for the first time as an opponent in this stadium:
“It’s definitely a special game for me. I played for Panathinaikos for many years and especially in this stadium. On the other hand, I cannot enjoy it 100% because there are no people. Whether the atmosphere is positive or more pressing every football player asks for such games. Certainly every game with Panathinaikos is special, but it is also very crucial and important, so I have to be very focused and give 150% if I compete.”
For where such matches are judged:
“They decide which team wants it the most. The duels will play an important role and certainly the quality that each footballer will display will be very important for the result”.
