On whether it was his team’s best performance this season:

«We scored many goals, created a host of chances again, the difference being that we were efficient today. That is important. We also were lucky with the opener coming so early in the match. Afterwards our rivals had to go after our forwards and that provided us with space that we exploited and finished off the game with ease«.

On the issue of Tzavellas:

«No more comments on this issue«.

On the holiday break:

«We have many games at our feet and we are one of the two sides continuing on all three fronts. This break is welcome, the players will get a rest, spend the holiday season with their families. I believe that afterwards we will all be stronger and continue from where we left off«.

His assessment of 2016:

«I would like to keep the numerous fine performances. That is tough to achieve, taking into consideration the arrival of many new players. It’s tough to build a team that will perform well and play good football right away. I didn’t like our lack of effectiveness in some games. I believe we are the top team in goal attempts, but our finishing left much to be desired. Eventually we will take care of that. We scored many goals today and last Wednesday. The players are getting more confident and hopefully they will continue like that«.

On keeping a clean sheet in the last two games:

«It’s important not to concede goals, that is a priority in my book, it’s morale-boosting. With the exception of one game, we haven’t conceded many goals in any other match. Meaning that the team are focused in their defensive work, while performing well in the attack«.

On transfers:

«We have planned ahead, we know what kind of players we are after. It would be great if we had a newcomer for our first game after the break. I can’t tell you when we will welcome new players. We signed many players in the summer transfer window, so that is not what I am asking for now. I don’t want more than three players now, even two is fine with me. We are always looking for quality, for players who can make an instant impact. We don’t have the luxury of time, we can’t wait for a player. That happens usually in the summer. In winter, we focus on players who can help us right away«.

On the Greek Cup draw:

«I don’t have a preference. Any rival is welcome. We will do what it takes to advance to the next round«.

On on-loan players and those who are training apart from the team:

«That is also an issue under consideration. There are players who will be given on loan to other clubs, maybe some will return from loan. As for those who are here, they were not in our plans, but someone could make a comeback«.
