Panathinaikos is called upon to recover from the “shock” of defeat by Ghoulstarting with the game with Panetolikos at OAKA, for the 25th Stoiximan Super League.

In view of this match, the Rui Vitoria He stressed that he and his players are determined to reverse the situation against them by sending a message for a bright future of association.

In detail what he mentioned in Cosmote TV’s separate pregame, which will be screened before the match against Panetolikos:

You had a difficult week, the previous days were difficult after the defeat by Lamia. What is it that you tried to do, especially on the psychological part, so that the team can focus on what is coming?

“First of all, we understand very well that in the game with Lamia we were not at the level we are used to. Certainly our image was problematic. This is something we accept, and I first realize that lately the team has had difficulties and some clear problems. We saw that we did not work well and all week we had the time to be able to analyze them, to show them to the players, and to deal with them in the field. I know what the fans think, and I’m the truth that I was quite disappointed after the latest results and the general image of the team. But we must all try to control this situation together and overcome it.

We need to look at the problem as men above all and do what we can fix it. What we can say to everyone, of course, is that we will never give up the “battle”. There is still a “battle” in front of us, we know that chances are not on our side, however, we will never give up and we will do our best. At the moment I know very well what the team needs. And for now, but also for the future. We can’t talk much about the future, I know that some things need to be differentiated, but right now what we need to do is focus on the goals we have by the end of the season, to do everything possible to achieve them. Beyond that, I think the future of the club will be brilliant, however, at the moment we have to focus very much on the next games we have at our disposal and do our best to win. “

Did you think you had realized that lately the team was not playing well, so there is a lot of what you see that they have changed and need to improve from the next match?

“We always try to make some adjustments for each game so that we can maximize the chances of winning, to win each of them. Of course, what we need to say that in a “depth” of more than twenty races, let alone when they are on Thursday – Sunday, I think there is no team can not win all these matches with perfect performance. But what stands out for the big teams is that they manage and have mechanisms to be able to win even when they do not get the perfect performance. They do what they have to do so that they win the races.

It is true that before the match against Lamia, in the game with Vikingour the team had shown a good regular person, he had things that are part of our identity. But in the fight with Lamia we had a bad picture and the responsibility I have that we didn’t do so well. Now is the time to work hard, to solve the problems we have identified, and we had more time to identify and improve them. We have to pick up the sleeves, get to work, because only in this way by looking at each game separately, we have the ability to do our best to win. “
