Statements ahead of the match between Aris and AEK (30/11, 20:30) at the “OPAP Arena” were made by Akis Manzios.
The coach of the “yellows” of Thessaloniki insisted that his team should be fully prepared, both physically and mentally, against AEK, wounded after their heavy defeat by Olympiakos, while he emphasized the need of his players to be completely focused on the tactical part.
What Aris’ coach said in detail:
On the way he will approach the match with AEK: “Indeed, it is a difficult game ahead of us, against an excellent opponent, with a very good roster. AEK is hurt and under pressure and we must be mentally, psychologically and physically ready to face it. We know this very well and this is what we have to do”.
On whether he thinks the fact that the two teams have already met in the Cup and will meet again in three days’ time will play a role: “I think we know each other as a team. They have little to hide from each other. The important thing is to be ready in all respects for this demanding game, which we have before us tomorrow. We have to sacrifice ourselves in this match”.
About what Ares must pay attention to in order to reach victory: “Every game we plan differently. We will try to avoid the opponent’s strengths and be ready, in terms of our concentration. It takes discipline in our tactical part and the will to win. There are some returns for tomorrow’s clash. We’ll see how we handle the situation. The Cup game also follows, so we have to do a relevant management of our soul potential”.
