Terem: “I have the same thoughts as our fans about refereeing!”

Fatih Terim spoke about the great victory over Aris, while also referring to the issue of arbitration.

We're all here, we're all Stokesman

What he said in detail in the press conference:

“Ares is a very good team, especially at home. Obviously it's an important win because of the points but also because it came after the win over AEK»

On the emergence of different champions like Sporar and whether he is satisfied with the development of the play-offs for Panathinaikos:

“When we came here we only had finals. We have a common goal and we must move forward based on it. The whole team, the players and players of Panathinaikos, must move according to our goal. That's why we all have to be coordinated towards the goal. Whoever is not will keep us away from him. During the week I met with everyone at Panathinaikos and reminded them of their importance to the team. I want our fans to know that everyone is making sacrifices for the club, and if we want to be champions, we have to work like this. From the president and everyone. Everyone is working in this direction. I want to use every one of my players. I love and respect them all. Only in this way can we reach our goal».

On the three victories in four derbies achieved by Panathinaikos and whether they have been unfairly treated by the standings as well as the refereeing based on the reactions of their team’s fans on social media:

“It's our fault that we finished third in the standings because we lost points due to good play. As long as we keep playing like this, little by little, our position in the ranking will change. As for the referee, I have the same thinking as our fans. He has three yellow cards in the first ten minutes. In general, win or lose, I don't like talking about referees. I said everything I had to say after the match against PAOK. The tournament deserves better refereeing. What I said was not a product of nerves. Whether it's us or the opposition, we need referees to blow the whistle on what they see. I agree with our fans».

About whether my hands should be fired. “I want the referees to be fair. Not just penalty kicks, but a yellow card and offside… all the whistles decide the match».

On whether luck gave Panathinaikos what it lacked in the matches in which it played better: “Luck is the thing that comes after a good plan. Nothing is random. I don't believe in luck. If you can't score the goal you say you're unlucky, or if you make a mistake and concede a goal you say you're unlucky. I say directly, “We are to blame.” We lost a penalty, there was a game where we sent in 50 crosses and 20 shots, and I always say we didn't do that. I trust my players and they need every one of them. I want to give Mancini more chances because everyone works hard and has quality. We are all together in the team, as long as we are united, we will get the result we want.

I spent a hundred days with Panathinaikos and every three or four days we would play a match and as long as we won this trust the players would play. We played 11 matches with everyone and got at least one win against everyone. They showed everyone that we can beat them. We have two matches ahead of us with Lamia, and our goal is clear. If we can do what we have in mind, we know where we will be in the standings».
