Matias Almeida immediately said a terrible and spontaneous remark about Traianos Della expiry of AEK’s match with OFI. After finishing what he had to say about the game and the victory of the “Union”, and without being asked, the Argentine coach stated: “I have boundless respect for this man who will come now (p.s. he was referring to Della, who was waiting to speak to the camera) because in a difficult moment he put his chest forward»!
Almeida was, of course, referring to the fact that Dellas was the coach of AEK during its very difficult yearsshowing that he has read and knows the team’s history very well! We remind you, on April 9, 2013, two games before the end of the league, the then administration of “Enos” announced his recruitment as the team’s first coach, in his place Ewald Linenhowever, failed to prevent the first relegation in the club’s history.
In the summer of 2013, by decision of the then new management of the “yellow and black”, Traianos Dellas remained the team’s coach, in the effort, which began in the 2013–14 season, in the third national division in a row, ensuring with relative ease promotion, while he continued in the following season (2014–15), leading AEK to return in the first class, after two years of absence. Despite remaining in charge of the club at the start of the 2015–16 season, he eventually tendered his resignation on 20 October 2015.
From there, in his statements before the rant about Della, Almeida said: “Today’s victory is important for us and for the world that supports us. It was very important to start well in the league after the elimination in Europe. We talked a lot with the footballers after the ban, it bothered us. What I asked them is to stay calm, play what they know and today we did well“, he emphasized.
When asked about Stavros Pelios, after smiling, he said: “He did very well, he is a football player with a great attitude, I try little by little with the playing time to calm down his game, so that he has basically clear in his mind what he has to do. I use it the way I want and it’s doing very well».
