Almeida: “Here Ancelotti receives criticism and I am so small in front of him”

THE Matias Almeida spoke after AEK’s match with Asteras AKTOR and commented on the criticism he has been receiving lately, doing it with a saying… fire.

In particular, the Argentinian coach of the Union said: “Here Ancelotti receives criticism, who recently won the award for the best coach in the world and I am so small in front of him ».

In detail:

“We live in a world where through social media things become a little easier. We in this profession should stand up to this criticism. Criticism is constructive. But there are also destructive reviews. I always write everything down. I am not a vindictive guy in my life. Everyone knows how and in what way to express their opinion. But we all know what the football field is like. I will change it a bit to make it more positive with the following example that I will give you: If I use my profile and say that X person is beautiful and I say it in the morning, at noon, at night, what do I achieve with that? To convince… weak minds. Then they’ll end up saying “he’s handsome.” If this message is reversed and I start talking about the staff, about Almeida, injuries and then again about Almeida, then they will be convinced. Then the stadium will come and boo you“, initially stated Matias Almeida and added:

“Is that a… classy way of jeopardizing someone’s job. I am lucky because I feel the love of the world. The review is good. Not everyone will always like the decisions a coach makes. His choices will not always be correct. All coaches want to win. What I’m saying is that you have to appreciate a job. It is possible that these fans are not our fans. There are people on our team who give criticism and I find it constructive. So I don’t want there to be any confusion in the message: I’m positive about criticism, but I can detect when it’s in a bad mood. If he makes a review because… he’s paid, that’s not good. I’ve made a fairly honest analysis based on the last 20 years of this club and I defend my position as best I can. I don’t give her up easily. I have arguments. There is a long way to go and we are responding: we have a competitive team. We were criticized because we were getting into the area and not scoring. We made few chances, criticism. Criticism because we didn’t attack with three contacts… Imagine Ancelotti being criticized right now. 10 days ago he received the award for the best coach in the world».
