THE Mars confronts him in Thessaloniki Bullet for its 24th matchday Stoiximan Super Leaguewith the world of “yellows” returning to “Kleanthis Vikelidis” for the first time since the opening of the stadiums.
In his statements to the NOVA camera, Mr Akis Manziossaid that his team must start from the beginning with the goal of victory, while he focused on how much the support of the people was missing for the people of Thessalonica all this time.
“We are very much looking forward to playing in front of our audience! In front of our world, which we have missed so much all this time. From there, I expect it to be a tough game. It is against a team that is fighting to stay in the division. We have to take it very seriously. We have to go in from the beginning with the aim of winning“, he initially said and continued for the seven game unbeaten streak of Aris in the league and Cup and how much this helps the team psychologically:
“It certainly helps us, as any positive result helps. Especially now that we had a week full of training and we have players returning, it is an opportunity to make our big effort to close the regular season in the best way in the league, but also the semi-finals of the Cup. It’s not enough for us to be in the playoffs. We want to win in every match. Especially now, that we will play in front of our audience after so long. Winning is more imperative now for this reason“, while the Greek technician emphasized that it doesn’t matter that Volos is winless in the last nine matches:
“This will not play a role for us! We have to be serious anyway and respect the opponent. We have to play good football and win. This is our goal. Let’s get another three points, in view of the playoffs».
For the coach change in Volos he underlined: “A change of coach always shuffles the deck! The new coach of Volos, in fact, knows Greek football very well. From there, though, it’s a game that will purely depend on us“, while it was closed for the return of players to competitive action:
“We are almost full now! All children regularly participate in training. From there, however, we will assess the situation and see how we will deal with those who have returned. Because someone coming back after a while doesn’t mean he’s ready to play. The positive thing is that the group is growing and this makes us happy in view of the final of the regular season and the replay of the Cup“, were the words of Akis Manziou.
