Terim: “We want 3/3 to claim the championship, we will chase it until the final whistle”

He doesn’t throw in a white towel Fatih Terim.

Motto for 3/3 by Panathinaikos until the final of the championship, the 70-year-old technician gave, who expressed his belief that the “clover” can conquer the title. With the Turkish coach promising to “fight” until the final whistle from his team.

“In life, things don’t turn out the way you expect them to. Various things can happen. Unfortunately, we have had injuries, but also punishments, as players received yellow cards and will not be able to compete. The fight with Mars is for us a very good opportunity to change the climate and return to the situation we want. Like life itself, so too the struggles have continuity. On Sunday we want to enter the field, win and get to where we want to be. We are preparing together with the players as best as possible, we have to be focused on the match against Mars. Unfortunately in life there are results that you never expect and we have to focus on the next match“, he emphasized on Cosmote TV’s “Sportshow” ahead of the match with Aris.

Regarding the match against the “yellows” (27/4, 20:30) for the 7th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs, he said: “Mars is a very important opponent. Both in the league and in the play offs in the matches we played, it proved that it is a good team. Accordingly, on Sunday (including today), but also in the Cup final, we expect this and the point is that in order to be able to claim the championship, we must get nine points in the next three games. Before the match against AEK, we had more chances to win the championship, now we may have lost several of them, but until the final whistle we will be there to “chase” it.

Without thinking, neither the injured, nor the players who cannot play. With those we have at our disposal and our fans, inside our stadium, we will go to get the three points. Arriving in May we will think more in detail about the whole team, but at the moment we are at a level where we have to realize that we all have to work together and think only about the race. There are no easy games, it will be difficult, but together with the players I believe we will manage to get the victory. There is a very simple expression. While you have chances, you have to “chase” them. And that’s what we will do. It is not in my character and the teams I have coached to give up. We know that the road is not easy, we have to win difficult matches. But as I said, we will never give up and we will “chase” it to the end».
