In addition, he reported both the performance of Van Weertas well as in those of young people Rants and Pelionwhile also commenting on his departure Mohammadi.

What the AEK coach said in detail:

On whether Ponce’s goals change the hierarchy in AEK’s attack: “Ponce and Levi compete with each other, each will have to take advantage of their opportunities. We could see them together in the lineup. Levi, whenever he played, scored, is important for us. These are two players with different characteristics and this gives us something extra for the team. The important thing is that we all work together for the team, for AEK”.

For Van Weert:“I’m happy for Tom, he made the most of the 10 minutes he came on as a substitute. This is the best… a player-to-coach protest. Competition is good for the team. Tom works quietly, participates a little and today is his reward”.

On Mohammadi’s departure: “He left a great impression on me, I’m happy for the player. As long as I had him, I have an excellent impression, a very good professional and an excellent person. Most importantly, he was an extraordinary person. In some positions we have three players and we only have the matches in the league. We are fine, Hadjisafi is also coming back”.

For the absences of Szymanski, Jonsson and Gacinovic: “I will think about the next match during the week. We have players to play in that position. We’re good as a team, I’m not worried”.

For AEK’s image against OFI: “We wanted to win the match and we worked quite well, we persisted. The opposition did well at times. It’s a good day and I’m happy with the players who scored. I was satisfied, we had a good run, we won, we scored 3 goals making changes with young players and we are fighting as a team. As time goes by we will improve having one match a week. We saw today that the changes were made after 70′, the team was good”.

For Radonia and Pelion: “I was satisfied with the operation of the team. And I think the young players are taking advantage of the opportunity that is being given to them. It is not easy to join a team that won the double and is fighting for the championship this year. They are doing very well and I am happy.”.
