She returns to the action with an away test on Volos, by trying to keep the minds of his players in the Thessalian team rather than in the match with PAOK following in Toumba for the quarterfinals of the Cup. Matias Almeida spoke to COSMOTE TV about AEK’s away game with Volos, in which he stressed that his players should be completely focused and not thinking about the Cup’s repeater with PAOK. CORVERSE Detailedly what Matias Almeida said on Cosmote TV : Good evening, good year. What would you like 2025 to bring you on staff, but also professionally? In relation to AEK, what have you been holding since 2024 and what would you like to improve? “Happy New Year to All. What I’ve been holding since last year depends, because I keep a lot on a personal level. My family, my friends, the people I’ve known in the last few years. And I only remember the good ones. As for what I expect for the new year, it’s health for my acquaintances, me and the whole world. To be able to enjoy my work, respect and respect me. And then I wish peace for the world. And at some point we can enjoy what we do without war.” ADVERSE Part of the world and media already discusses the rematch of AEK against PAOK. Is it an additional challenge for you to keep your players focused in the game against Volos? “The truth is, I’ve been analyzing Volos for several days. I don’t look at the comments on social networks and some opinions, trying to change this world. Because the truth is, if we talk about the next game, while we have a game ahead of us, we’re going to go back to making the same mistake. Here we play every game separately. We have a game tomorrow and no one knows how to get to the next one. In this space we live in a constant instability.” What would you like to see from your team against Volos? “I believe that the challenge before us, considering the days of interruption, is to continue to be competitive, as it was. But we all know that the last game of the year and its first new one is a little weird, because in the meantime there are the holidays. We should try to start in the best possible way.” Your opinion of Volos? “They’re always games hard. That’s why I am surprised to talk about another game when we have a rival in front of us who will want to beat us or get a grade. We devote the time worth to each opponent, in this case is Volos. From then on, what’s said about the other game is out of football, I’m not getting into it. If nearly ten days after the entry of 2025, I participate in a soap opera, that will mean that I am not at all focused.”
Almeida: “Word to look at the game with PAOK, first of all Volos”
