Vieirinas: “I’m still looking for my footsteps. It is not easy after so many years to go out …

An interview in which he talked about many interests, Andre Veyrinia gave ERT!

PAOK’s Portuguese legend, who just recently hung his football shoes, talked about his adaptation to the new role he now has in the “Dikefalos of the North”, and also commented on the timeliness, the difficulties faced by Lutsescu’s team, his teammates.

In detail what Vieirinia said:



How he is experiencing now after the end of his career as a PAOK adviser: “I’m still looking for my footsteps. It is not easy after so many years to go out … I want my time to be able to help PAOK and from all over. I love football a lot and it’s not easy for anyone to end his career.

That I did as a player and that I did in my life, I did it passionately. I love my family more than football, but for many years all my love has been football. I always wanted to give 100%, even when I saw football as a fun before I became a professional. So I want to continue with passion and the next day in the sport for me ».

As to whether this stress feels because it does not depend on himself, as when he was playing: “There is always anxiety as a player, but you always have control of your own stress. Once you are out and you can’t change something, you get a bigger stress. It’s hard to go from one situation to another. ”

For the difficult time PAOK spent with five without a win: “We weren’t at the best time. All teams will go through such periods. Psychology and confidence were low for all games. In Tripoli we won 3-1 and we failed to get the triple, a game that seemed to have no psychology. The players were looking for it every day and worked. We got a great victory in a derby and the team will regain its lost psychology. Every year there are spaces that do nothing to you. This does not mean that there is no job or do not want players to win. The first to want to win games are the players, because there are always contracts, transcriptions and all that. The lack of results made us as a team to lose confidence and there is no better boost to win a derby and mainly against a team like Olympiacos.

It is a work of Lutsescu because he is the coach, he is the play of the players, it is a work of all who are in the team. We have proven many times in PAOK’s history that yes you are allowed to fall, but you have to get up. We have lived good and bad times and in bad times we have to be united, it counts. We have to be united, it’s a one -way street. ”



For the 100 -year -old season and for goals: “It’s an incentive to claim the titles. Those of us who work in PAOK want to get titles every year. To write history and get the title in the 100 -year -old season, we have to give it all. We do not play on our own and the championship will be difficult. We have both Europe and the Cup, but our goal is the championship, that’s clear. ”

For PAOK competitors in the league: “And the opponents and they are not having a good time or do not seem to have a good time. All teams are almost unlikely to make a perfect year. It’s still too early to judge. The story has shown in recent years that the title will be judged in the details. The one who will have the most good times and the least bad will be a favorite to get the championship, but I’m sure the title will be judged in the playoffs. ”



For the PAOK roster and the forthcoming arrival of Zafiris in January: “It will definitely change something, because otherwise we would not go into the process of getting it! It’s a transcript to make us stronger in a piece on the pitch. I think he’s a terrible player! I have met him, he is a very good kid and a slave. It will come to help us, to give us something new, to give us things we are missing. Children who are already in the team and play in place do everything they can to make it difficult for Lutsescu to get the eleven on. “.

For Constantelia’s stay in the team and it was the most powerful message in Savvides in the summer: “Now he has come very close to leaving, but for the first time and the second time he remained. The message that the president has gone through is that he does not look at the cost and wants PAOK to have the best. Mr. Ivan Savvidis does what he can do. It is not easy for a Greek team to reject 20,000,000 euros, they do not happen every day. In the summer he brought players with experience, players who have played Champions League and children with good characteristics, such as Yakoumakis. “

For his great moments in his career: “The biggest is in the game with Levadiakos the year we won the championship in the 2018-19 season when I entered the court while I was injured, with my daughter who came and kissed me. I was not psychologically well and my daughter came to say to be careful, while I already had a dissolved knee. If it were so easy we would all become footballers!

Euro is the second biggest moment in my career. After 2004 when you were … crying. You got you in 2004, we got in 2016 and now we’re okay! The titles I got with Wolfsburg, the Cup and the Super Cup ».

If he talks to Cristiano Ronaldo: “We are talking to common friends, but not directly with Christian.”



For the National and its course in the qualifiers in the World Cup: “I think kids have shown that they are capable of everything. It was a bad time with Denmark. There is quality to win Scotland and take a qualifying step. ”



For young children – Greek football talents: “This is the future of Greece. Not just has a eleven, it has two nationals. The work done with the National Center of the National, with Mr. Gagatsis and Mr. Jovanovic. I think this group can do terrible things. The Federation invests in the future and in the coming years we will have a very beautiful sequel »



For the children of PAOK Academies and how they have lived them: “All the kids … Konstantelias, Koulierakis, Tzimas, Michaelides, we are trying and trying to have them with their feet on earth. They started very early and I wasn’t used to my time. “

For documentaries in his honor after his departure from active action: “To thank my wife Vaso for being with me in these years I was in PAOK. From the day I left until I came back and until I stopped. That was close to me in easy and difficult, but mainly in difficult. To thank the Savvidis family for opening the door to me to return to the group I loved and love. They brought me back and helped me keep my promise when I left in 2011 that I would go back to get titles and we did it together. ”
