Kastritis: “The new players didn’t have time to adapt”

Yiannis Kastritis emphasized that Cluj is an experienced and aggressive team for Aris to face, he focused on the fact that the new players did not have time to adapt, he detailed the absences he was facing and is facing, he expects that against PAOK they will return to winning ways and how the team will work again from the beginning with the additions and is betting on the help that Woodbury will give him with their return and Bohorides.

In detail: “We knew from the beginning that it would be a difficult game for us. Cluj in their field is a very aggressive and tough team with experienced players. I want to congratulate them on their victory today. For our part, we had new players who had to adapt to our way of playing, as they only had one training session yesterday.

Noley is back after a month away. We are still waiting for Woodbury and Bohorides. The previous period was quite difficult for us. We are in a situation where everyone is starting to come back and I am very optimistic that soon, starting with the game next Sunday, we will return to positive results”.

For the new team additions: “It was a very special game for us. Cooper has done two practices with the team and, as I said before, Willis half. The trainings we did due to our absences were done with eight and seven people. We can see some elements of the new kids and what they can bring to our game, but we’re obviously far from the chemistry we’d like to have in our team mode.

Obviously, this needs some time, but don’t get me wrong, we have a game ahead of us against PAOK that we know exactly what it means for all of us and we will be ready to give our best and win.”

For the return of Woodbury and Bohorides: “Really, they’re going day by day, we’ll see about that. The children are trying, they wanted to be in Romania too. They stayed behind to continue their treatments to increase their chances of showing up and helping the team in Sunday’s game.”
