In detail
On the league: “We’ll try to get off to the best possible start. We’ll see what we achieve in May. It’s a very tough marathon with many teams pursuing the same goals. A lot is at stake this year, with four European spots up for grabs through the league and two in the Champions League. I think the league will be competitive, with the big teams on the rise.”
On the break from European competition: “We had double training sessions each week after our elimination. The friendly against Nea Salamina and this past week focused more on tactics than physical conditioning, since it’s match week.”
On the match against Aris: “It’s a traditional derby; even before entering this new era, Aris always gave us a tough time—we’re expecting a challenging match.”
On the roster: “Brandon Thomas and Weisbeck will miss the first two games of the season; Gary Rodrigues and Kvidta are racing against the clock, and we’ll see in the final practice whether they’re ready to make the roster.”
On Goldson: “He’s running drills; he’s officially registered. He got the green light from the doctors who operated on him in England. His body is showing signs of responding well. He’s following a specific daily program. He needs time.”
