Details of what he told Nova:
Socrates, I want your thoughts before the game with Larissa, a very demanding game in a traditional venue in “Alcazar”.
“Okay, as you know, traditions don’t play football, we have to do what we can to get the result. I think everyone in the team, the rest we had and we worked a lot in training helped us in some things that we have to improve in our game. I hope that from Monday on we will make the most of what we work on the field. “
What image do you have of Larissa, a game has given so far.
“We know her and from the previous years she maintains her style up and down as a team. It is a team that defends very well and in a massive way, it is quite tight I would say, especially at home and very dangerous in counterattacks.”
I think it is a bit unfair to receive a lot of criticism and pressure from the first game. Panathinaikos’s appearance in Tripoli really wasn’t very good. Do you feel pressure, a little bit of stress this year that maybe the bar should be raised a little higher?
“Personally, I may not feel it if you ask about me. But I think that’s the feeling of the team. We believe in our potential. We set the bar very high ourselves. We certainly don’t show our best face, but we are a new team with a new coach and lots of new players. I don’t like excuses but that’s the reality. Surely a new team needs time to acquire chemistry and make the most of its potential. Unfortunately, there is no time, so until we understand exactly the philosophy and the wishes of the coach, we should obtain the result easily or with difficulty to work more calmly and with greater comfort ”.
Because there is much talk that there is no time and that you need results. Is this combination bad for Panathinaikos at the start of the season?
“Maybe we won’t get 100% of the game we want to play at the altar of the result. From there, if we go out and win, we will definitely add other things to our game that the coach asks for. And the footballers will be more comfortable on the field, but I think that little by little we will achieve it, we are on the right track ”.
If anyone is more affected by the new beginning and the lack of chemistry, it is you. Because we are talking about an almost new defense. Do you feel that you are gradually becoming attached? Do you get chemistry with your classmates because they are also foreigners?
“It always comes through the games. The good thing is that one of the three new faces, Fran, was playing in the Greek Championship, so I already knew him, I know his style of play and we drew directly. And the other children little little by little we start and learn them. A new team always needs a period of adaptation. This is what we are going through at the moment and that is why it is not the image of what we want to present. We all see this year that there is an even higher quality in the team. So our goal is to do something better. “
Are you starting to learn a little Spanish? Talk to Juancar, Sánchez?
“It just came to our attention then. I was talking about some, now even more.”
I want to ask you one last question about the National Team. We had a very important victory in a very difficult seat. It was not an ideal start, but I have the impression that this year things are a little different. How do you see them? Can we take this step that we all want?
“I think we are on the right track, the coach has a solid team on the field. They fight for each other. Everyone has a great thirst to fight with the colors of the national team and this fighting spirit and determination also spread. manifests in the field. Certainly we have many things to improve, but there are bases for something very good. ”
We became a bit true lately with the statements of Siova and the coach. Did it affect you?
“I personally do not deal with these issues. This is a matter for the coach. He knows what to do. We footballers must be focused on our obligations.”
