Nikolic: “Let’s play with Kifissia as if it’s the final Champions League – I’m waiting for reaction from players”

AEK started with its “left” obligations in the Conference League League Phase, knowing the defeat with score 3-1 by the celluerwhich was also the first this season. The Union is now called upon to leave this match behind and to return to wins, starting with the difficult game of the 6th match against Kifissia in Peristeri (5/10, 18:00).

Speaking on COSMOTE TV’s camera, AEK coach, Marco Nikoliche talked about the conclusions coming out of the match with Cellie, after the analysis he and his associates made, stressing that he was expecting a reaction from the players in the match against the newcomers.

In detail:

For the defeat by Celier and the conclusions he made, analyzing the game with his associates: “Yes, we analyzed the game, we didn’t sleep much is the truth. It applies what I said after the game. Now that I have the match again, I am more sorry. We gave everything to the opponent. Unfortunately, the defeat can come once and it has come, but now we have to leave it in history. Because the problem of the club in its recent history was that it suffered too much defeats and so it went from one to the other.

So we have to leave her behind and play with Kifissia on the Atromitos stadium as if it were the final of the Champions League! Because the big teams, as I said after yesterday (yesterday’s) match, can lose a game in three months. But two in a row, with nothing. So we have to come back to a victorious trajectory and wait for a reaction from the players. “

For the fight against Kifissia: “We played with them a friendly game in the last FIFA interruption. Very … unpleasant team, one can see its recent results. No one plays a comfortable game against them. They are very dangerous to counterattacks. They have a player in the attack, Tetei, who is very unpredictable. Very talented and very fast. Their game is mainly about it: direct football, second balls, counterattacks. Also, they sometimes know how to push, but also how to build their attacks, despite your own pressure.

Including the last race, with the long day trip. We have not yet come back, but we have tomorrow’s (today) day and Sunday before the game to find fresh players, energy, “warriors” and the right mindset for play. Because we will need it above all. AEK technician Marko Nikolic stressed how important it is for his team to react to the game with Kifissia, leaving behind the bad look and defeat by Celier. “
