At the top of the Stoiximan Super League standings and after the end of the 24th matchday will be AEK, which on Saturday night, passed “Athanassios Diakos” beating Lamia 3-1.

At the press conference, after the entire game, the “Union” coach, Matias Almeidahe focused on the mood that his players showed tonight, but also on the fact that they remain competitive and “hungry” after winning the doubles.

At the same time, he also referred to his competitive image Pelionbut also to Amrabad injury who was forced to change after a hit.

The press conference of Matias Almeidas in detail:



For the two goals from stoppage time and for the second goal that is the identity of his game: “In all the games we try through the high game to score. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Today went well. In Eliasson’s goal, it comes from stealing the ball, after tension in the game. I stand out not only the goals, but the attitude we showed to get the victory. The opponent at home is a difficult team. He has managed to cut points. Changed his strategy today with three stoppers. At one point he played with five in defense. It was clear that they would play on the counter attack. We interpreted the game well and showed patience. I think the goals from set pieces opened the game. The opponent after 2-0 continued to wait behind to strike on the counterattack.”

For increased efficiency: “I am satisfied with the performance. Because I have been here for a year and seven months and after winning two titles the team continues to play with the same spirit. It satisfies me because we can change players and the team continues to be competitive. We are on the right track with the playoffs ahead of us.”

For Pelion’s consecutive good performances: “I’ve talked enough about him. I don’t need to make statements about the player every game. It’s time to give him peace. He will play when I think he should and he will be out when I decide. Three months ago I spoke to Stavros and told him that when he completes 100 games he should train in the same way. Until the day he plays 100 matches, I will answer the questions the same way. I am going to protect him from the evil that exists in football. Today he has 1 million friends, uncles and cousins ​​who had not appeared may have appeared. I’ve seen a lot of players burn out. He must continue in these steps. The young players take advantage of their opportunities, like Pelios, like Radonia, and at some point they will play together.”

For Amrabad strike: “He was fine, he was tired.”

On whether the goal is to bring back the absentees ahead of the playoffs: “That’s always the idea. There is a dynamic, everything is continuous. Last year I showed the players that I used them all. This year I have done the same in all competitions. There are some who have returned from injuries and are not in good shape, others are still injured. Then once the playoffs start it’s the Nationals break where a lot of our players will be gone and hopefully they’ll be fine.”
