Herman Burgos kept his cards down ahead of the rematch with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Thessaloniki lost 2-0 in the first leg of the third Conference League qualifier.

The team coach at the press conference before the replay (8.11, 21:00) noted that his players should use the opportunities that will be provided to them. Since then, he has not disclosed his plans for Eleven.

What he detailed:

To prepare the team: “We’re very good, we’ve been working all week and we’re ready.”

Why Aris needs to change in relation to the first match: “We must win. The chances that we missed in the first leg, we must turn into goals. That’s the main thing.”

On Aris’ mistakes in the first match and how he will deal with them: “To get the right picture, we have to look at Maccabi titles. 23 championships, 23 cups, six super cups. He constantly plays in Europe. So it’s a great thing in football to eliminate a team like that, but we also have to reach the same level.”

For the role that his staff can play, and for the inevitable presence of the crowd at today’s practice: “This is the ideal of what will happen tomorrow. The role of the public will be especially important.”

Whether tomorrow’s qualification depends on Aris or Maccabi: “From U.S…”.

In case of changes: “We’ll see tomorrow…”

To manage a match: “From the first minute we will go out to win.”

For the field of psychology and if he said something to the players: “It’s something that only footballers know and no one else.”

On the impression that he doesn’t feel pressured into the match: “On the contrary, all the pressure is on me, I feel like I have to take it off my players.”

On the possibility of playing with two forwards: “I’m not going to reveal anything. You’ll see everything tomorrow.”
