In the way that is approached by many its performance and image AEK pointedly mentioned o Matias Almeida.
In the established statements in Cosmote TV ahead of the match with Asteras AKTORthe Argentine talked about comments made with bad intention and they aim for it not to exist stability.
At the same time, he mentioned that “Union” will play in front of empty platforms on Saturday, expressing her question of for such type of decisions and the dissatisfaction of the fact that the team will be deprived of its world.
What Almeida said in detail
What did AEK’s image against Atromitos leave you?
You always keep the good and there were a lot of things that were good. Always, in all matches, it’s important to get what you want. There is always room for improvement, but the important thing was for the team to get the win and keep a clean sheet.
You have in front of you in Asteras AKTOR, a team that has already defeated Olympiakos and Panathinaikos this year. How do you rate him?
They agree with what I have been saying for some months with what is happening. I think this is good for the league. There is more equality, there are many groups with little difference between them. We will give the required attention to each game. We will show the respect we show all opponents. We will try to make our own game, as we do in each individual game.
What should AEK do, in order to get the victory, in a match that will be deprived of the presence of its crowd, given that the game will be played behind closed doors?
This is a big issue, we must not leave it aside. I really can’t understand this situation. I believe that if something happened, it didn’t happen on our own field. I can’t understand why our people can’t be on the field.
Beyond that, our audience is very important to us. But we also know that we have to keep improving on the football side. To keep the good ones and improve the not so good ones. If we play our game, then we will have a chance to win.
There are not a few who argue that maybe AEK is trying to be a little more careful in its defense this year. Is that the case or does the game plan and game concept remain the same as previous seasons?
I respect very much all that is heard. But there are many kinds of comments lately. There is some confusion in the comments about what the team system is like. If we defend, “why do we defend?” If we attack, “why do we attack?” If we make twenty chances and score one goal, “why did we only score one goal?” If we don’t create many opportunities, “why aren’t we creating?”. It is very respectful from my side, I respect every comment. I would be really happy to speak Greek, but I think it might also work in my favor because I don’t understand everything that is said. But I have made an analysis of the last twenty years. It’s been twenty years since I’ve done analysis.
So, I accept the criticism, I accept what I might not like. I accept that they support and love us. But there is an analysis that has to do with numbers and in front of the numbers there are truths. And I operate on that basis. We never give priority either to do more defense, or to do more attack. But let’s present a complete team. But obviously there are people who make some comments and maybe they don’t like it.
I have seen this story again in football quite some time ago in other places. And for there to be this accumulation of comments and some of them being with bad intent, all those who make the comments are looking for is a lack of stability. And you don’t need that. We don’t prioritize defense or offense more. We’ve been trying to play the same way for three years now. There are days when things turn out better and other days when things turn out worse. The idea remains the same.
