“My future is judged every day. Today I am here with my players, tomorrow is another day and we will see. What makes me proud is that the team has an identity with any formation. It has quality players. It is a team that can improve even more.
On the other hand, I cannot emphasize that the opposing coach in his last change put a central defender to maintain the tie. The opponent, perhaps, was scared. This leaves us satisfied. Congratulations to all my players “, initially supported and then spoke about the analysis of the match:
“We played a pretty good game against a team that is second in the Spanish league. When the team is full, then it is more competitive.
Today my team has been very consistent. We had two occasions with Varelas and Svinderski, against a team that does not allow many opportunities. “The stadium was in very good condition.”
For the group: “From the first moment I said that it is an open group, everyone has a chance. Even Omonia, who lost in the end. Many underestimated Omonia. She showed it today.”
In the press conference that followed, Ferreira received many questions about the Palmeiras agreement but refrained from responding.
Was it your last match with PAOK?
“I don’t know, we’ll see. The game has just ended for now, I’m the PAOK coach, we’ll see.”
Is there a first agreement with Palmeiras?
“I’m not the one who should talk about that. I’m the PAOK coach, as soon as the game ends, I’m not the one who is going to answer that.”
And he continued saying: “Above all, what makes me satisfied is that the team shows that it has a clear identity. Certainly, for any coach, things are better when he has all the players at his disposal. We could have gotten better out of the game. What I have to say is that a team can play better if it has all the players at its disposal. In other words, a team can play better if it has Ronaldo in its line-up ”.
How do you see the games with Eindhoven?
“I would say that the situation today is not different enough. It is an open group, all teams have a chance to pass. The Europa League teams are doing quite well. Other points will be lost.”
We hear everyone at PAOK talking about a plan with you as the lead. Why is this plan changing?
“In my opinion there has to be patience. We have to leave the players alone, the coach alone, Olaf alone. We cannot want things yesterday. We see Manchester City taking it all two years ago.” now to get nothing.
PAOK just won the championship two years ago and it was logical that their rival would get stronger. On the one hand, we want a team that is economically viable and can beat everyone at the same time. There must be patience. For us, the proof that everything is black and white is that we beat Benfica and we were the best team and then we won 1-1 with Omonia and we were the worst team“.
How did you see the game against Granada?
“Something that we had noticed is that he enters the field with force. He tries to play vertical soccer and create quickly. He is in a good phase since he is in 2nd place in the table. However, we also entered well, we blocked the rival and We had the best chance in the first 45 minutes with the crossbar, and in the second half the game was more balanced in terms of possession.
We had an opportunity with our forward, we had a case in the rival area that could have been penalized with the help of the VAR. Also where we were pushing for a goal, the opposing coach put up a defender to maintain the result. “Seeing Granada play and how they want reminds me of Atlético.”
And he concluded his statements by saying: “The only thing I want to say is that the coaches are good only when and if PAOK paid 2 million to come here, it means that they saw some things in the team that they were training. And if there are teams that are interested in players or I will continue doing what I always do, fighting for victory, trying to give value to the players.
When I got here we hardly had any footballers that could be sold. However, with the work that we did, we all gave value to the players and when that work is done, a viable team can be created. You can stay competitive. Mr. Savvidis, the champion himself, wanted us to lower the average age of the team, to incorporate new players. “I accepted this challenge knowing that we are taking some risks.”
