Ouzounidis: “We must be ready for the premiere and we will be”

Aris and Asteras Aktor faced “Kleanthis Vikelidis”, in a friendly rehearsal before the launch of their league, with the Thessaloniki winning 2-1.

After the end of the match, the coaches of the two teams, Marin Ouzounidis and Savvas Pantelidisthey talked about the image of the game and the readiness of their ensembles.

The statements of Mars coach:



“In the first half we had good circulation and phases, but not the ends we would like, unlike the opponent who in the first moment scored the goal but they happen in football. We wanted to play a game of possession, traffic and creation. In the second half we scored the goals but we had a problem with the transition game and it’s something we have to fix. If we want to play with the ball on the feet, we must be presented more organized in the defensive transition game.

We scored, we won but personally, that doesn’t tell me anything. In the last two weeks we have worked hard in the field of fitness and now we have to refresh the team and work more in the field of creation. We know that it is not easy for children to easily be on the pitch, it is something that cannot come from day to day. But it is obvious that there is quality in the team and I think we will play good football ».

For the course of preparation: “Don’t hide, in the last two weeks there is real preparation. It is not an excuse but true. Children are not yet in the physical state we would like to be but it will. When you do so many transcripts it is a given that you will need time for the team to tie. We will strive to work even further in creation but also on players’ collaborations at the same time of further improvement in fitness ».

On whether Mars will be ready at the premiere: “It must be, as we should beat the game because the points are the ones who count”.

Star coach’s statements:



“The match is for many really conclusions. Because at the start of the championship we have two very difficult matches, in the last week we have given a little more basis to our defensive behavior and I think that in our distances in the way we were defensive they were pretty good.

In the second part we were good and found the space we were not so good defensive. This, of course, happened after many changes that this can disintegrate a team. There are quite a bit of the conclusions I draw from today’s match. In general I am happy with the effort of the children and we will try to become better ».
