THE Mars painted the Thessaloniki derby yellow, winning 1-0 PAOK in Toumba.

THE Akis Manzios he appeared completely satisfied after the game and stood on several things.

What the Greek technician said:

“We had said that we are far from fourth place but that does not mean that a big team like Aris is not motivated. Besides, I said it before the match. This is what we did today in a special game for both teams. I think we scored an important victory and we close the week in a beautiful way, taking into account the games with AEK and Panaitolikos”.

On how far the tactic prevailed: “I think tactics played an important role. We didn’t give PAOK the opportunity to make phases and that’s where the game was decided.”

For the fact that Aris for the 4th time dropped a team from the top of the standings: “I don’t keep track of how many times we’ve dropped a lead. We do our job, play our game. We managed to go to the final of the Cup and we will play for ourselves to keep ourselves in the best possible condition ahead of the final”.

On the fact that Aris is undefeated against PAOK this year: “These games are like that. It is the year that is the third game that we have not lost, achieving two victories which are important for our psychology”.
