On the current state of the squad after the final training session:

«Biseswar and Swiderski did not train, so we can not say that we do not have any problems.»

On the new players:

«They can definitely give us solutions, that’s why they have come here anyway. We would have preferred them to have arrived earlier, so that they could integrate more easily and quickly. They need to battle now to try and get up to speed with the rest of the group as quickly as possible. After the departures of Akpom and Limnios, it was clear that we needed players in these positions. They are both quality players and they will do a great job for us, but it takes time. If we want to give an example, it is like having your family at home and a new member joining. They need time to adjust, but both players have quality characteristics and they will give us a lot of help in the competitions we are taking part in. We managed to get good value out of those who were sold and we needed players to fill the gaps.»

On whether or note he is expecting to bring in more reinforcements:

«I don’t think any coach would say that he doesn’t want a few more better players. If more new arrivals are to come and bring quality, they will be welcome, if not, then we have confidence in the group and we are ready to go with them to the end.»

On the post-Krasnodar recovery process:

«In general everything has gone well. What I always say is that the next game is the most important. We play with Volos and we only care about that now. We have one of the youngest squads in the league with players who have the desire and hunger to succeed. Our job is to choose the right ones to get the victory. It is not enough to say that you believe in all your players, you have to show it and not keep using the same players.»

On the match against Volos and the fact that they have played against them during pre-season:

«As we understood from the game against Atromitos, we are talking about teams that have a lot of motivation against us; they want to push, run and make things difficult for us. We have to be serious in our approach, focus on our game and only in this way will the quality we have shine through to help us achieve our goal. We must not give our opponent the opportunity to put us under pressure and we must be extremely focused against what is a tough, strong team.»
