Following AEK’s 4-1 victory over Karmiotissa in the 9th matchday of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan, the Larnaca team’s press officer, Kyriakos Dimitriou, in comments he gave to Supersport 104.
Here’s what he said in detail:
On the victory over Karmiotissa: “Our goal was to get back on the winning track and head into the break—just as we did last time—in the best possible mental state. We secured the victory in a match where the first-half performance didn’t suggest we’d face further difficulties, but that’s soccer. Overall, out of the nine matches, the one against Ypsona was the exception.”
Looking ahead: “The more you win and the more you’re in a favorable position, the more your belief in what you’re doing, your momentum, and your self-confidence grow. We still have a long way to go. However, we’ve finished this first stretch in first place, and there’s still room for improvement. The goal is to continue being effective and to use our strong performances as a guide. We need to find ways to be effective and impactful. The coach also said that as we move forward, it’s important to minimize the periods when our performance isn’t at its best. It’s important that we’re getting goals from many players, including those coming off the bench. Bajic, Trika, and Anderegen have provided us with offensive solutions. Ivanović has also returned after we were without him due to illness. As the season progresses, everyone needs to be ready for action.”
On the fans: “After every game, I personally thank everyone who comes out to support us. As long as the team continues to succeed, the support from the fans will only grow.”
