Veleth: “Victory at Peristeri with Atromitos – Great goal at Agrinio”

Victory was set as the goal for Aris for today’s match against Atromitos by Fran Veleth, pointing out that the psychology is uplifted by the victory in Agrinio against Panaitolikos.

Veleth’s statements in detail…

How does he feel about the goal he scored against Panaitolikos:

“It was a very important goal for the team, because it brought us closer to the Cup final. We have to forget that, though, because we have an important game ahead of us against Atromitos”

How easy it is to rally his team now in the league when he and his teammates know they are one step away from the Cup final:



“It is not difficult to focus on the game against Atromitos and on the league matches, in general, until the rematch. These are two different things and we understand that. We’re not done with securing our playoff spot yet. We have to beat Atromitos to make sure of that, so we’re going into this game focused.”

Regarding the fact that he himself had a difficult time with his injury and how much this goal against Panaitolikos helps him psychologically to improve even more in view of the continuation of the season, he focused on the experience he has from such situations:



“It’s not the first time I’ve had a hard time. Every time I try to recover and that’s what I’m doing now. The most important thing for me every time is to compete, to help the team in defense, not to score”.

Because Aris has the particularity of having an almost complete Spanish axis, with the return of him, but also of Manu García, and also the presence of Cuesta and Morón. This obviously helps the team a lot:



“Indeed, this helps the team, because the common language we speak is something important. In addition, we know how each of us plays and that gives extra help to the team.”

On how Veleth awaits Dauntless today and what Ares should watch out for in this game:



“I think it will be a very tough game. The opponent plays very well and is well organized on the field. He wants to play football and we have to pay attention to that. He is strong, that’s why we also have to be very focused”.
