OR Real Sociedad welcomes PAOK for his 8th and final League Phase match Europa League and the Basque technician, Imanol Alguathilhe was asked to speak at a press conference ahead of the match.
Something he did in part, as he mainly stood in the very bad image of this season his team, while raising a protection shield to his players for their criticism.
As for Dikefalos, he stressed that this is a very good set, with good players, stressing that it would not easily go to the “Annea”.
In detail what he said:
“I want our fans to think about what this team has given us in recent years. More than ever we need them, to be there and to support us. Now it’s a very important part for this team.
I always say my head high, with a smile and hard work. We have to get out of this situation, the team is fine. This is football. We play a lot of games. Hard work, battle to turn it around. Tomorrow we are waiting for an important match, we are in Europe every year and we have to enjoy it. Now the time has come for an important match in Anneta. Personally I’m excited.
Only positive messages from the world arrive, or maybe they don’t dare to tell me the negatives. This team is not worth the categories, only me …
I continue, I’m here, I can’t ask for anything more than this team. I am bothered by doubt about players’ professionalism. If you are looking responsible, he is me. Having seen our defeats, I have no doubt that by playing at our headquarters tomorrow, we will try to play well.
I was sure you would see me today with a beard and you would ask me questions about whether I was good or not. As soon as I can go to the hairdresser, I want to go to the dentist sometime. But one has to train the team. I’m not … perfect, but I’m fine! This is the best season. I want it to be a historic season. We are happy to be in Europe for the 6th time.
You won’t see me sad. I don’t need anyone to encourage me, when I leave here, I will leave satisfied. I don’t want to have doubts. Everyone here is professionals. If you want to criticize, here I am. I am the responsible”
As for the clash with PAOK, he did not speak with names, saying: “I think they have too many good players, as a whole we are worried about PAOK. Especially in Europe. He plays good football, they have good tactics in their game, but we won’t make them easy …“
