On the team’s motivation levels:

«There is definitely motivation, it is a match that we’re playing at home, and in each one we want to be serious and disciplined, but beyond that we look at each match separately and we want to collect as many points as possible.»

On what is the 54th match of a long season and the squad’s endurance:

«I think that with the solid management that is done with the players, the season will turn out very well, we have been manage it in the right way.»

On whether he is already thinking about the cup final:

«That is still far away, there are 18 days left to go before it, but I believe that every match is a good training session so that we can be as well prepared as possible for the Greek Cup final match.»

On the match against Olympiacos:

«Olympiacos will play for two results. We expect them to sit back and try and hut jup shop, and not be pressured by them too much. And so this depends on us, on how ready we will be and the individual characteristics of each player on the night. The way we play at home will make it difficult for our opponents.»

On whether the team has managed to apply what Lucescu asks of them:

«We went through some difficulties and this creates a special mettle within the team, and certainly our coach is largely responsible for that. He is demanding, he wants us to see each match as a final, and so we have done that from November onwards I think.»
