Roz: “Let’s go block AEK – We remember how we reacted in the last game between us”

AEK and Mars are dueling at the OPAP Arena for the 5th matchday of its playoffs Stoiximan Super League (20:30, Cosmote Sport 1, News Bulletin 247 and live update from sport-fm.gr), in a game with points of interest only for the “Union”, which is looking for the three points of victory at all costs.

Even though Ares isn’t “burning” for something, o Lindsey Rose stressed that his team will do everything it can to blocks Union and win the game.

In detail what he said:

Initially, Roz connected today’s match with the previous defeat for Aris against Panathinaikos, saying: “When you lose games like that, what you have to do is write them off and think about how you’re going to win the next one. What we keep from the game with Panathinaikos is our good performance, the chemistry we had between us and the passion on the pitch. With these figures, we must go to the next game with AEK, with the aim of winning”.

Since the discussion about the previous match with Panathinaikos, Roz was asked the question, if the zero in the attack, despite the 22 finals, created a concern in view of the final of the Cup, in which the opponents will be the “greens”. He said: “No, what happened doesn’t mean anything. It happens sometimes. We won games where we had just one shot on target, none at all! At the same time, the opponent may have had twenty finals and not scored. It doesn’t mean anything, because that’s how football is. We have to keep working and keep our confidence high.”

Regarding today’s match with AEK, Roz emphasized: “Especially at home, the game against AEK will be difficult. We know this. AEK is playing to win the title and that makes the match more difficult. He is in a good ranking position and wants to stay that way. We will go to block them and try to do our best to get a good result”.

And as for the fact that the two rivals know each other very well, he commented: “There are no surprises between the two teams in this game because we know the opponent very well. Therefore, the outcome will be decided in the details. I think it will be a very interesting game. After all, we remember how we reacted at home in the last game between us.”

And since he mentioned the last game between the two rivals, the epic draw (3-3) at “Cleanthis Vikelidis”, when asked if this match is a guide for Aris in today’s game, he pointed out: “Yes, but we didn’t win this game after all! If we want to win now, we have to operate somewhat differently. It is good, however, to keep the basics from the last match between us and add some elements to them.”
