Yoni: “I believe we will beat Panathinaikos – The Greek league has nothing to envy”

His belief that the PAOK will succeed and defeat Panathinaikos in Toumba, expressed in his statements to the NOVA camera the Yoni Otto.

At the same time, the Spanish defender spoke about the quality of the Greek league, saying that he has nothing to envy from the other leagues.

In detail, what he said:

For his first time in the team, and if he feels justified in his choice: “I think the level is very good. The top teams are fighting for the title from the beginning. We had a very good course in the Conference League, Olympiacos is also in the final of the competition. I think the level is very good and compared to other leagues we have nothing to envy. Obviously the Premier League is the top level, but I think the level in Greece is also excellent».

Regarding the reaction of PAOK, after the loss in Lamia, even if he himself expected it: “It was no surprise to me. It’s a shame what happened in Lamia because we basically lost the right to judge everything by our own feet. But we knew after the game with Lamia, and we discussed this among ourselves, that if we want to fight for the championship, we also discussed this among ourselves, that we must win all our games and wait for AEK to stumble. That’s still true, we still have two more wins to go. We continue strong and hope for the best».

For the factors that gave the victories against AEK and Olympiakos and what the team should do against Panathinaikos: “I think that as we have seen in the previous derbies, it has to do with the fighting spirit and the will to win. It will certainly be a difficult game, but from our side if we really go on the pitch and give 200%, I don’t see any way we won’t get the desired result. I believe we will manage to win».

On how different a game awaits against Panathinaikos, compared to the recent double at Leoforo: “Panathinaikos is a very good team. They are a team that likes to have the ball, have quality and are always chasing victory. We also saw it in the Cup, which somehow managed to eliminate us. We expect her to come here to win, to play her game. I think if we are ready for the battle we will win».

For the last game of the year in Toumba: “I don’t think we need any more motivation. Yes, it will be the last game in Toumba for this year, we will have the fans by our side, we are fighting for the title. I believe that in terms of motivation we are complete. What we have to do is take that motivation out on the field and take the game».
