On the importance of the derby:

«It’s a very important game for us. We want to show that we are not yet out of the title race, to give it our all, to win and to reduce the difference between us. So for us, it is an all or nothing game.»

On how crucial the game with Olympiacos is in deciding the destination of the title:

«We know the situation in the standings, and all this time we have done everything we can to try and reverse the situation and get as close as we can to them. We have another chance at the Toumba to move closer and get oursevlves in a strong position in the battle for the championship. We want to do it both for ourselves and for the fans who support us. We have worked hard the previous days and we want all this effort to bear fruit. Our goal is to put pressure on them and get as close as we can. It is a crucial game, but it does not end the case for the title, because the Playoffs will follow.»

On the scenarios linking him with a move way from the club:

«I feel comfortable here and I don’t think I’m done yet, it ‘s not time for me to leave. I still have a lot to give to the team and to take. There were some discussions but I do not think I am finished with PAOK. I had an injury in December and that has held me back, and it was a bit difficult, but I want to work, to help and offer as much as I can to the team. We have chances to win more trophies still this season, so I want to be part of this whole situation, to celebrate together and then we will see about the future.»
