THE PAS Giannina welcomes him Mars for the 23rd game of the Super League, with Irakli Metaxa to make statements in view of the match.
Whether the possibility of punishing the team was influenced or discussed, after the conclusion of the EEC: “Not at all. We neither discussed it nor thought about it for more than two minutes when I heard it. I only think about what I can influence. The others do not make sense to think about. “
On whether he had any contact with the President on this issue: “We as a coaching team did not discuss it with the players. I do not know what other discussions have taken place. “The players can talk to each other, but we as a technical team did not even discuss the issue.”
For his statement after the match with Panetolikos that PAS Giannina did not become Barcelona: “It was not done to lower the bar. It happened because in the first half when a pass did not come out or we did not move to some places we wanted, I suddenly felt some nerves between us. And there I stood. And at half time I told the kids, because they do not need. We know who we are, how we got here and just because we got somewhere, does not mean that we will do everything super straight. That is what I wanted to express. I see that the team is affected. And we are human beings, various things are written that we are good, etc. And when you hear this constantly, at some point you think that you have to expect a lot from yourself, but also from your teammates. I did not see this nervousness in the second half and I liked it “.
For the game with Asteras Tripolis where there was a better possession of the ball in the second half and opportunities and if it was something accidental: “You may be right, but you see me sad because if we had managed to do it in the first half – which was our plan – I believe we would not have left Tripoli empty-handed. This hurts me, because it was relatively easy. From a tactical point of view we could have done it easily, but we did not, we played the balls quickly and in one of these phases we conceded the quick goal. You are right, but we did not do it in the first half and that is what hurts me from that match “.
About how he expects the match with Aris: “Like every opponent, this is how we see this match. I look at the opponent, the forces and I see that Aris is not going to have as many problems as he has, he is a strong team. We also had a lot of problems last week and shortcomings. For me, Aris is the favorite again and we will see how we will face him “.
For the absences that exist: “For Pereas we do not know yet if he will play. We also have to wait for Piersman. He has been playing with a problem for a few weeks. He plays because he wants to. He is a professional and wants to play in all matches. At some point we have to leave him 1-2 matches as the doctors tell me. We will see what the moment will be. We will decide after the weekend training. The same with Pereas. As you can see, he was training with his hand on the side. If it is to play with one hand, it is better not to play at all “.
On whether the players’ minds are occupied by the 0-5 of the first round: “All I can say is that we do everything and talk to the children in such a way that it does not matter. Now beyond that if someone has it deep in their mind, I can not go in and tell you if it exists. For us, however, it does not exist. It was a game we were happy to win, but if you ask me today I would better tell you to win 1-0 on Monday. That match was like the match we lost to PAOK. We made 6-7 shots and 5 goals were scored. So PAOK made us 5 shots and scored 4 goals. There are these days. We have not experienced this thing since. It is done once a year or every three years. We forget it and go for the next one “.
On whether he has seen a difference on Mars compared to the first round: “Minimum. “But we have to go into some details, which we should not do here.”
About whether the championship was ending now and he had to answer whether the tactics or the talent won in PAS: “Regardless of when the championship ends, I can answer that. Talent as we consider it, for me does not count as much as we think. Everyone has the talent to play here. If I take the teams that I know in the 2nd category of Germany, you will see more children that we here in Greece would call without talent, than with talent. A squad can have 8 players without talent and only 3 with talent. Of course everyone has talent, but I mean it as we mean it in general. In Greece we expect more things from a talent. The first thing is the passion, the will and how you will put this in a regular plan. The tactical plan counts, but first of all is the quality, not to mention the talent. When I check a player in scouting, I even see his warm-up, his behavior, if he talks to his teammates, this is a kind of talent. I look at this talent a player has. To say something to him and to always do it right and not only twice and after the third time to do it wrong again, because that is how he had learned it “.
