In detail, Karim Ansarifard spoke to Novibet AllAboutARIS TV:

– Aris and Manzio: “I am very happy to be here. Everyone in the club warmly welcomed me and hugged me. The result in Agrinio also helped, along with qualifying, otherwise things might have been different. I know Akis Manzio, but we didn’t have the chance to play for him again. He was at Panionios, but he took over when I left for Olympiakos. I’m glad to work with him. In Aris he has shown his skills as a coach and everyone in the team loves him.

I was already in negotiations with Omonia to find my next team. Actually, of course, I had left two months before I came to Mars because of my preparations with Iran. I had some options and tried to do the best for his career. So far, I’m enjoying Mars, the whole environment. We are in good shape. We are in the final, we have the playoffs and before that we had some good results. I made the right decision to come to Mars».

-the goal he scored in last year’s Cup final in Cyprus, ahead of this year’s final between Aris and Panathinaikos: “I hope so… But I hope we win it even without me playing. It doesn’t matter if I score. I hope Aris gets something (including a trophy) after all these years. Everyone in the team is united and we will not let the opportunity go to waste. You never know what will happen in football. Whoever plays though, we’ll all be one with the world and try to make the friends of Mars proud wherever they are».

– Moron and the 110 years of Mars: “I’ve been here for 1-1.5 months but I’ve become friends with most of the players. It’s like we’ve been playing for years… One of them is Loren (Moron). I don’t know how it happened. He wants to play, just like me. But we have a very good relationship on and off the field. We try to help each other and of course the team. He is a fantastic striker. I hope he comes out top scorer and scores in the final. We will all celebrate.

It was a very nice moment for all of us. Let’s celebrate with the people in the city. It was a nice day. We are all proud of the club and its history. So many years in Greece, I know the size of Mars. Everyone is asking us for the Cup. Congratulations to this great club on 110 years of history. May Aris be strong every year in whatever event he participates in and may he only have success».

– the playoffs and the 4th place: “In life there is nothing impossible. Everything can be done. Let the ups and downs come. We will fight to reach 4th place. In the previous games we didn’t have bad results. We will try to get as many points as possible and in the end we will see. The playoffs are difficult and with many derbies and no rest. But we will fight to finish as high as we can».

– the last presence of Mars in the final and the presence of the world: “I wanted to see all these videos before the final… Now I’m only thinking about Sunday’s match and what’s to come. I will be watching these videos as we get closer to the final. We have nine games to go. During the break we worked hard mainly for the next game. I’ll watch them and read some stuff, but when the finals are near».

-his future at Aris and Aris’ 3-2 win over AEK: “May we have an unforgettable moment in May. I am happy to be here. But my attention is on the playoffs and the Cup. After the end of the year I will talk to the president and the coach. Let’s see the goals of the club. In my career I want to see the goals of a team. Not just to be in one team, even if I’m in Real Madrid. To have goals, to be useful for the club, my teammates and the world. After all, they might not want me next year (laughs).

I remember how much the people believed and trusted the players (including in the 3-2 match against AEK and Aris), while their team was behind by two goals. It is very important for people to support the team. In the final we can win or lose. But the most important thing is that everyone believes in this team. Whatever happens, be with the players. I promise you that from what I see, we are all working to make you happy. Let’s go Arianara!».
