About the team’s decline that started in the away encounter against Xanthi:

About the team’s preparation during the international break:

«In such cases, it’s good to have all players in training, so that the coach can pass his message through to everyone. Anyway, those of us who were there worked hard. Our coach demonstrated what he wants us to do. The Xanthi match is the opportunity to bring our best stuff on the pitch –and we hope to continue so in the remaining games until the play-offs».

About how the team will go about it to defeat Xanthi:

«As witnessed in the first round match, they are a very good team. We need to keep a clean sheet and eventually go for the goal to seal victory».
