Martins: “I would be foolish to do that and I am not” - Heaped Praise on Omonia, Berg, Fabiano, Jovetic!

Hugo Martins, the coach of AEL, expressed his disappointment with his team's 2-0 defeat against Omonia, but also acknowledged the superiority of his opponents. He emphasized that AEL played well, especially in the second half, but could not react after conceding the goal. Martins reiterated that Omonia is the best team in the league, with the best coach (Berg) and players (such as Jovetic). He admitted that his team had prepared for Jovetic, but failed to stop him. The AEL coach stated that his team can play with various systems, but needs balance and organization. He expressed the opinion that AEL does not have the right players to play with a three-man defense, but he is not foolish for trying. Finally, Martins expressed his belief that AEL can improve and compete for better results in the future. He stressed that his team needs time and work to reach the level it desires.
