With a brace typical of a central forward and a meaningful celebration, he stamped his authority on the Mytilini game against AEL Kalloni. Stefanos Athanasiadis spoke to Novasports TV after the encounter and gave his answers on the rumours regarding locker room problems: «Rumours get created because some people don’t want to see us do well. We proved today that there is no problem between us. When results are bad, everyone sets out to find locker room problems. There are not. It was proven today, when we all celebrated the goals together. This is indicative of the atmosphere in the dressing room«.

Regarding the game, Klaus said: «We wanted an early opener to boost our morale and clinch the three points. When building a team, ups and downs are bound to happen. It’s important to remain focused and bring our best on the pitch. We must play to win every game, no matter if victory comes with attractive or mediocre football –it’s all about the three points. That is someone everybody needs to understand. The three points guarantee high morale that subsequently allows a team to perform better«.

«We all work a lot, players and coach, and today we make a new start. We have repeatedly asked our fans for patience. It’s essential when in the process of building a team. There is future for this team. It was a bad season for us in the UEFA Europa League, but I hope that in the future we will be able to be better«.

Regarding Igor Tudor, Klaus said: “He has bonded with the team. His passion on the sidelines in every game is proof of that«.
