On Saturday night (03/05, 20:00), the Mars tested in Heraklion, Crete against OFIas part of the 5th Stoiximan Super League Playoffs 5-8 match.
Speaking on Novasports channels, ‘yellow’ technician, Marin Ouzounidis, He stood by the fact that he was expecting a better picture of his players than the previous match against Atromitos.
In detail what he said:
For the tie in Peristeri and the importance of the match with OFI: “Some things in this game we did well, some, but not. Most probably did not do well, so we have to improve them in the fight with OFI. Now, as things have been done, things are clear. We know what we want. We know that in Crete we need to try to win, to finish 5th. We know it will be a difficult game. I believe that OFI has been wronged by its effects lately. He should have gotten more points, as in his last game he had to have won and not defeat. We know what to do to get to the playoffs of our own group first. “
For the fact that the game is expected to be rehearsal for OFI in view of its presence in the Greek Cup final: “It’s something we are waiting for! Indeed, it is normal for this to happen. He plays with Mars, a great team, so for OFI is the best test he could have. And for this reason, we must be more focused on the game. We know that we are waiting for a very difficult match. OFI looks at his own job and we will look at ours. We will count in the end who did it! “
For what Mars’ racing approach should be in this game: “In the immediate previous game we had no concentration and discipline. So in the fight with OFI we must be well organized. I have said from the beginning of the playoffs that the quality of a team is the last element that makes the difference in these games. What makes the difference is concentration, discipline and organization. We didn’t have these elements in the last match and we have to restore them immediately. “
As to whether Fabiano’s absence and Sifoundes’ injury in the match against Atromitos created imbalances in his team: “There were also some players who were not on a good day in that game … The last -minute changes generally create problems. But we had talked to the players who were likely to fight if they needed. Our biggest problem was the overall picture of the team. So I expect to change this picture for the better! “
Whether extra pressure on Mars has been created because Asteras Aktor has approached the score: “I wouldn’t say that it was created. In the worst scenario, again the fifth position depends. But it is important to end immediately! Let’s not leave it at the last minute. If this is done, it will be a game and you never know what can happen. You can play very well and the ball may not be in the net … We may not be created and we do not want it. It is a good idea to give 100% to this game so that we can win! “
