Almeida: “No matter how much I find me I’m going to leave, this club is part of my life”

AEK hosted Olympiacos in “Opap Arena” and dominated 2-0. Of course, despite this victory, this qualification in the Greek Cup final was painted “red-white”, after the emphatic victory of the Piraeus 6-0 in “G. Karaiskakis ».

After the finale of the match Matthias Almeida He answered reporters’ questions at the press conference and said he was not going to leave the team, despite rumors in circulation, and stressed how when and if he left he would ever do it clean and head high because he owes nothing to anyone, as he said.

In detail what Matthias Almeida said at the press conference:

For what he holds from the game:

“We had a good game, after several defeats against Olympiacos. We changed some things and saw that we can cope. I keep that when there are no mistakes the team is competitive. I believe that both players and we go through a situation we are not used to. This was a demonstration to remember the way we play football. You play for your honor and to defend a jersey, no matter how dead you are. We may be on the knees right now but we will do everything to get up. We had some opportunities to score more than two goals, as the opponent could score. It was a good game. It is very difficult to make such an overthrow in a team such as Olympiacos, who has been at his best since I came. It is very strong and has an incredible order in the field. I think it’s important that we have managed to break this. “

For the fact that Olympiacos had more possession than AEK:

“It was not our plan to give them the possession of the ball. Our strategy was not this, and if that happened, it’s rare. Olympiacos is a very strong team that has been working together for a long time to reach this level. ”

For the world and the way the qualification was lost in the first match:

“The truth is that I too would like to know why my father died, but that has happened and doesn’t change. That’s how football is, they happen. We have to learn not to make the same mistakes again. So is football, sometimes things go well, sometimes they go very bad. It is normal for people to want their team to go well. I have said it again how I will be eternal grateful in this world. I don’t change, the problem is who is changing. No matter how much I find me I’m going to leave. This club is part of my life. But if I leave one day I will leave clean, because I don’t do business with anyone, I don’t talk to any journalist to write good things for me, I don’t bring a footballer to keep rates. All I do is give some of Matthias Almeida to this club. Every beginning has its end.

But I will give what I have until I leave the team. There may be criticism of my choices and I accept it. But I do not accept to ask me to leave, I do not accept that. I always accept the criticism, but not to ask me to stay without a job. I will greet them all one by one and go back to my village clean, I owe nothing to anyone. I work every day and rarely have a day a week and as much as I have a job I will fight. I accept whether the world is happy or not, but they want attention, there is a lot of people who have good memory. There is no one above AEK. Some coaches stay in history some do not. Unfortunately for those who are not happy it will be 200 years and my name will be in the group museum and if I am given the opportunity we will have other titles. After three years having the team first or second, for some it is a little bit. “
