OFI did not start the championship well, as in the first matchday they were defeated with a score of 3-0 by AEK.
THE Traianos Dellasafter the training of the Cretans on Wednesday (21/08), spoke to the journalists and emphasized that this performance was captivating and apparently disturbed everyone in the team.
What he said in detail:
“No one is happy with the match against AEK and the performance. AEK is a more prepared team, but what bothered me is that we didn’t play what we can play. This also disturbed the footballers and I am waiting for their reaction on Saturday. We are more upset than everyone because we didn’t put out on the field what we can put out and claim things through the game. Now we look at the next one. I spoke to the players, we definitely need a reaction and we will have that on Saturday
With AEK, absolutely nothing came out, we were constantly in a defensive phase and mostly passive defense. Against such teams you will pay for it. The phrase “it doesn’t matter” doesn’t exist in my vocabulary. Obviously it both bothers us and bothers us.
We must learn from these games. If we want to grow, we must take as an example the way AEK reacted to us after a painful exclusion. Let’s do the same on Saturday. We are playing at home and this year our home should be strong. The strong seat is made by the teams. People will come to the stadium if we show that we are fighting for the games. The world of OFI wants to see the team fight and claim victory in every way. If this happens but the victory does not come, I believe that in the end he will applaud.
On Saturday we play at home and we should be dominant, we should have more of the ball at our feet. Without forgetting our defense duties. I want to see with Atromitos things that we have worked on in the preparation, things that we did not see with AEK. We could have managed the game better and we are disappointed but we are looking forward. I told the children that in the car there is a front windshield and a mirror. If we keep looking in the mirror and looking back, we will crash. We are looking ahead and moving forward, but that doesn’t mean that we haven’t been bothered by the performance against AEK.
No team this season is 100% ready. Neither from freshness nor from roster. Do not jump to conclusions, the destruction of the world has not come. We have to have control over our emotions, whether in negative or positive outcomes.”
