On the upcoming game:

«We have to be ready and prepared; it’s good that we have two players coming back into the team. It’s good that we have more options, the squad is looking more complete in this aspect, and so it will be easier for us to manage things game by game. The only thing is that we want everyone to be at the desired level so that we can have the same starting point when we start working on a game.»

On whether Sastre will be in the squad against OFI:

«Joan will not be with us tomorrow. He only managed to do one training session with the whole team. I am not a coach who will put a player in and ‘expose’ him in the sense that he still does not know the philosophy and the way we want to play, and how we want to use him. We will give him a little more time to settle in so that he can adapt better and understand what we want from him, the mentality, and the philosophy of the team. Then we will reconsider our decision for the next game.»

On his requirements of his players for the upcoming game:

«The important thing is to win; there is no other requirement than the three points. In the previous game we did just that and I think we also showed good things, since we also had a few absentees. We are on a good path with six wins in a row. Our confidence and enthusiasm is at a good level, but we have to keep our concentration. The most important thing is to win and come off thje pitch knowing that we have given the best we can.»

On OFI:

«They are one of the most organized teams in the league and in Greek football. They like to either start the pressure high, or play build-up football starting from the defense, no matter who their opponents are. Games with OFI at any time can be dangerous for any team who face them.»
