THE Fran Veleth was hosted on NOVA and referred to the upcoming first game of Mars in 2025 against the OFIstressing that the only goal is victory, so that his team can climb up the standings.
At the same time, he emphasized that the Greek championship is so competitivewhere o Mars he should not underestimate any opponent, since anyone can do damage.
In detail what he said to the NOVA camera:
Initially, when asked if the break helped the players of Aris to recover psychologically and spiritually, he answered:
“When there is a loss, the best thing is to fight right after, to forget it as quickly as possible. On the other hand, however, the break helped us to work with our new coach and improve things, in which we saw that we needed improvement.”
When asked what the “Yellows” in Tripoli found to be in need of improvement, he pointed out:
“First of all, when we defend, we must all do it together, as a whole. We have to be very solid in this and secondly, we have to press more on the ball.”
As for whether this is the explanation for the way Aris lost to Asteras Aktor, he said:
“Certainly! We have to work a lot on our reactions to the second balls. Asteras put a lot of pressure on us in the second balls, and that’s where we have to emphasize.”
Regarding whether it affects the “Yellows” the fact that for a long time, for four matches, they were in first place and now they are seven points behind the top, he emphasized:
“We know how to work! We know we have to go game by game because it’s a long season. We have to secure the wins, because in this competitive league, any opponent can do damage. This is what we need to pay attention to and fix.”
Regarding Aris’ upcoming opponent, OFI, the Spanish defender emphasized:
“OFI and AEK are the two teams that, when we played with them in the first round and especially in the first half of the games, they did us a lot of damage. They are a team that likes to have possession of the ball. We have to compensate for that with our own way of playing.”
He added, answering the question of how Aris should face OFI to get the win:
“First of all, we must not underestimate the opponent. Competitively, the most important thing is that we have the ball and move in possession.”
