Nikolic: “Marin will help a lot – we will add another quality to the team in the coming days”

Satisfied but landing appeared the Nikolic Mark At the press conference after AEK’s victory over Hapoel Ber Seva.

Union technician referred to many missed opportunities of his team, the meaning of preserving ‘zero’ to defensebut also to the improvement presented by the AEK In the second half.

In spite of the victory, he stood in need for greater efficiency and gathering in the rematch, while also talking about the transfer of Razvan Marinexpressing his optimism about his contribution acquisition And talking about even more quality to be added to the roster next time.

In detail what he said:

Whether the many missed opportunities were concerned despite the victory: “The result for us is not fair based on opportunities. We should have a minimum of two goals. It’s the first official match. In lost opportunities it is something we need to improve, to become more effective. I would like to thank the fans. They had an amazing atmosphere in the heat. I love the intact home. We did it. Obviously in the first part we were nervous, we made regular mistakes and we made the opportunities with settles and counterattacks. In the second part we had better placements, we were regularly committed to a well -known team that was playing for the title with automation last year. So I think we need to improve this piece. We did half the job, congratulations to my players. “

For the keys to AEK’s victory and if in the end it was anxious: “The opponent was very difficult. We should not be thrilled, we haven’t done anything. We have to keep our concentration. If it were a championship match I would give the players a day off. Now the challenge is in front of us and we have to go step by step. I’m used to being on benches, I know how hot it is. With the teams I have worked I have scored and have conceded a lot of goals in the end. The important thing is that we kept the situation. I’m anxious because we didn’t score a second goal. “

Whether AEK had nervousness in the first half as it was aggressively released after the goal: “Not only that we hadn’t scored a goal. The nervousness was pervasive in the first part. The level was not desirable. But it was normal as it was the first match. We would have anxiety. In the half we talked, we calmed down, we got together. Of course the goal always helps, but what I liked is that we did a lot of opportunities. We created conditions and fell on an excellent goalkeeper. “

For the transfer of Marin and his readiness: “We are very happy for this transcript. In the half time you saw the presentation from the matrix. I am sure that with his experience and virtues he will help and give a quality leap. I put him on the European list because he can help. Thanks to Mr. Ribalta, Mr. Iliopoulos and Mr. Lysandrou for making this transfer. I’m sure we will give another quality to the team the next few days. “

For the psychology given by the victory and if he regretted he had said that 1-0 would leave him satisfied: “It always helps a victory to build faith and trust. I think a bigger win would have a double reading. It would make the rematch easier but could create a relaxation and based on the Balkan mentality it might have been fatal. 1-0 is a red lantern that obliges us to be 100% so as not to lower the bar. I never regret what I say. There was a famous colleague in Serbia who said that 2-0 was the most dangerous score. I lived all over my childhood with it and I start to believe it too. “

Whether the improved image of AEK in the second part is sufficient for Hungary qualifying or if he thinks something else is needed: “Of course they need more. There should be no dead intervals. However, based on my experience I expected it as it was the first game. We have to play as we played in the second part from the beginning of the game without dead intervals. “
