THE Alonso with respect to Ayantas, but with the need to lead Panathinaikos to European groups, he spoke at the press conference about the need for the “greens” not to stand in the past, but to have their own, modern history in the encounters with the Dutch.
At the same time, he confirmed that Tete and Ioannidis are available for the upcoming matches of the Europa League qualifiers.
He spoke in detail about:
–the story with Ajax: “Undoubtedly I know the history of Panathinaikos and Ajax. But we know that it is a different story in a different context these matches. What we have to do is write the history in our favor”.
–the tactics he will follow: “First of all the goal is the key ingredient to change tactics in a game. I want to say that whoever scores a goal first has an advantage over his opponent. Of course we will look to be the team that will score first and I have to tell you that we don’t have a 90-minute game, but a 180-minute game”.
–the people and the support to the team: “We like to play with the people on our side. We feel both very comfortable and very happy when they are around us. And this is an additional motivation to fight and win a match”.
–Ioannidis and Tete: “It is on the European list. Ioannidis is coming off injury, but has already overcome it. And he is also available for tomorrow’s match. The fact that we have him available is an important weapon”.
–the need for a result in the first match: “No result will decide qualification until the games are over. As I said, the fight will be long. The match is 180 minutes. We respect the opponent too much. But we are very confident about qualifying. And as for Vagiannidis, he has had some difficulties in the last few days, but we are looking at it and examining it day by day.”.
–the differences with the matches against Plovdiv: “There is a strategy to see how we will deal with a team that plays aggressively, but the thoughts are the same as the game against Botev”.
–Ajax: “Undoubtedly, it is a team that did not have its best season last year. He has a different coach this year and a different way of playing. And it’s a team that builds during the game. And it’s very dangerous, especially when you see it from behind.”.
–the Dutch, Senkefeld and Vilena: “Both ready and available”.
