Metaxas: “We are preparing for a battle with AEK – Amrabat Tank”

One PAS Giannina who will go down to OAKA to claim his chances equally, announced the Iraklis Metaxas. In a press conference given on Friday, the coach of Epirus noted that her problems AEK do not disorient his own team.

So after he talked to me flattering words for the opponent’s units and especially Amrabat (who characterized him “tank”), stressed that he expects a tough battle on Sunday.

Detailed what Metaxas said

On whether the tactic can finally win the talent, as seen in the game with Mars: “Yes, I have said it before and it is valid for our whole year. But I say it again, about talent as we mean it in Greece, because the other talent is, but it can be more difficult to learn someone. My son plays in a K10 team, you see some people have talent from that age. “It’s hard to put passion and energy into someone, but some kids have it and will never lose it.”

For the imprint left by the match with Aris and whether it was the faithful observance of the plan: “Not only from the match with Aris, but from the whole course we see that the team tries to keep a plan, despite the problems, the shortcomings and the weaknesses. Sometimes it works for us, sometimes it does not work for us. This time it came out with a lot of luck, because in the first goal the ball went to the crossbar, the goalkeeper’s hand and in and in the second we have four chances to put it, but a Mars player sends the ball on Dominguez’s knee and the ball goes in. . Aris, on the other hand, had no luck with his own shots. But we also remember our games where the opponents shot, the ball went out, but it hit our own feet and came in. Aris did not have the luck that others had “.

For the match against AEK: “Once again we have a difficult game. He has very good players. Amrabat that I saw recently in the match with Olympiakos is a “tank” that knows how to play, but also to hold the ball. There are also players who are “tanks” but do not know how to hold it. Also Ansarifard, Mandalos who I remember from the National team, Tzavellas who is a player of the National team, etc. That is, a very good team. It is a very difficult game for us and we are preparing for a very tough battle. We will see in the end if we achieve some things that we discuss and that we worked on in training. “I want to see these things on the pitch and I believe that if we do we will do better than if we do not.”

For the situation of AEK and whether it can disorient the PAS: “I do not think so, because we know who we are and what their value is. And whether AEK is on a good moon, let others judge it, I am not competent to judge it. He had huge opportunities with Olympiakos, they did not score goals and they ate one in the end. AEK is the favorite, we play at home and a hot home awaits us. I think that after the defeat by Olympiakos, the children of AEK will give everything, we will give them too and in the end we will see what result we will have “.

On whether the six is ​​extra motivation: “No. It’s not extra motivation, nor would I want it to be extra motivation, because that means that as long as we are not close to six we will not have extra motivation? I do not think. You must always give the same and then you will look at the result “.

For Kargas and his state of health: “He is fine, he was released from the hospital, we gave him a few days off, because he would not be playing with AEK anyway. The doctor also told us to rest him, because it would be dangerous for him to make heads. He will be with us again in a week “.

On whether the departure of Snyder and Perea from training before it is over is a matter of concern: “Snyder had a problem in the previous match as well, that’s why we changed him. I do not know if he will be ready. “A little problem appeared in Perea today and Gardavski and Pirsman will not be with us.”

On whether Gardawski and Piersman will stay out for longer: “They can play a game and then be out for six months. This problem that they have (abdominal-adductor) I also know from other children that I trained in the past that it can last a long time. We are close to the doctor and the children who know their body better and we will not risk it for a match, because we will need them. We do not play with the health of the players for a match “.

On whether there is an estimate when Conte will enter the team training: “I do not know yet. We also talk to the doctors. Inside the gym I see him ready. He may not have had as much strength before the injury as he does now. He goes out with the trainer and works, but when he will be with us it may take 2-3 weeks. This is my assessment, however. We will put him in a passing game to be with us “.

For the same football school that he and Giannikis come from and whether it will be a bench battle: “As much as any other match. Good footballers make us easier to be good coaches than we are good footballers. When I came to PAS I asked all the children if they knew Maradona. Everyone knew him. Then I asked them which coach did the great success with and no one remembered. I hope we also have an influence on the game from the bench, but not as much as we think. “When the referee whistles then it’s what the kids do on the pitch.”

On whether to look at the score: “I have eyes and I look at her, but I hope she does not affect me. I would like to enter with the same seriousness, regardless of the points that each team has. It’s something I ask myself and I take care not to take a step that I would not take. That thought will be wrong. “

On whether he risked using Poznaski with Mars: “After all, it wasn’t Piersman? Defensively, I felt as confident as Economopoulos, but watching the game with Olympiakos, I wanted to develop with my left foot for regular reasons and that is why we tested Poznaski. We also have Rizo who we know will give us a standard of performance, but we are preparing the team for the next games, I did not see only the one with Aris “.
