As part of the discussion with journalists said Mr Dimitris MelissanidisBesides the plans for the AEK training center in Spata, he spoke about something that will not change on the field, although he would like it to, and also the discussion about the sale of Levi Garcia. He also referred to the worst sports minister Greece has ever had, as well as the history of Covid cases at Panathinaikos.

On the rejected €15m offer for Garcia: ”Garcia is not for sale. Not for sale. We’ll be happy to suck it up and see it later. Now I’m selling it because I want to enjoy it. Do you think everything in life is made of francs? Garcia is not for sale. We’ll play Europe and then we’ll see”.

What the first year gives a taste of: ”Now that AEK isn’t playing, I miss it. There’s something about this stadium. When I come I see the tiles. We happened to have a good team and watched good football, which we lacked. I made a mistake on the field. The canopy, the cloth I attached, I was wrong. I had to lay a tile. This is the hallmark of AEK”.

On the operational problems that existed on site: ”It was the first year. We’re going to be very tough. We will not allow any of the tyrants to do what they do. We replaced the plexiglass and the glass is no longer visible. We will try to fill in the gaps. Mistakes have been made, but we will pick them up and organize them”.

As to whether 2013 was a dream: ”When I took over AEK in 2013, which I had a moral obligation to do, I always knew that when AEK plays on the field, they have a perspective, otherwise we could have problems. The stadium is ready, AEK has a perspective and everything I had in mind and with God’s help we achieved it and I’m happy about that”.

For more competition-level dreams:”We want AEK to play good football and excel both in Greece and abroad. We will do whatever is necessary. We’ll do whatever the coach asks.

We are also fortunate to have struck gold with Almeida. This is the main protagonist. The administration supports him in everything he asks for. He told him that whatever you say is law and will be done.

I believe that this team can distinguish itself in Europe. And of course the Champions League should be the goal”.

Whether he wants to build a similar team as in the 90s:This year AEK was the best team in the league, we shouldn’t hide that. And we want to get even better. And football did it. I think football is getting better.

You know what happened. The champion used to come out in November, now it came out on the final matchday. That says it all”.

Whether he was bothered by what Panathinaikos said about arbitration and Covid:What bothers me when I listen to Muppet shows. It was the Muppet Show. I love football. Did we infect them? They failed to win four home games. Who said AEK was sick with Covid? It’s the Muppet Show, that’s reality”.

For Pinedas:An attempt will be made. Pineda is not part of AEK. We’ll try to keep him. If we don’t manage to find the other Pineda, what can we do?”.

As for whether he would like to compare the current team to that of the 90s of back-to-back titles: “The 90s team, which played very good football and was gradually built up. And it’s a pleasure to watch today’s AEK. This year I was happy to see AEK, I had many years to see such AEK. I washed them. We play the best football in every respect. The transfers, the coach, the stadium came out. And here lies magic. The ghost, if I don’t, I can put you all to sleep. Nobody is safe here”.

On the smoking problem: ”It’s the only stadium where there are no police when AEK plays. That’s saying something. Not even outside the stadium, anywhere”.

About some people who pay expensive tickets and have problems when others come in without a ticket and how he wants to deal with that:”We will fill in all the gaps that we saw in the first year. We’ll be so hard that the spirit can’t go.

Even the person who threw the flare will face criminal penalties, in addition to being banned from the field of play. Anyone lighting flares will stop.

We have a state of the art system with cameras that record everything. They will either respect what we have built or face the penalties of the law. We won’t give in”.

On the toxicity that has been there if the Presidents have an interest in it and what he intends to do to mitigate the toxicity:”Our team will not deal with them. Everyone who comments and says is descriptive. Muppet Show Yogurt!

Is it their fault that football is the best? The Muppet Show. I might have been wrong too, but I’m fighting to make football better. Is it the same as ten years ago? Let’s not go crazy. Muppet Show, that happens.

It used to be said: form a team, and today we say the same thing. They said we had attachments. Does AEK have offices? They had limbs, but both burst.

There are people who own teams and have no idea what football is. Do you think you know something about football because you have money and power? Melons are normal.

We built a stadium and sports centers, except for the 20 million from the region, nobody helped us and they called us stupid. We who have built ourselves a jewel of a stadium. Being spoiled from a young age is a bad thing. I’ll fix them myself”.

For a cup final with people: ”we have to see But the state is also to blame. act’‘.

For Avgenakis:He is the worst sports minister since the creation of the Greek state. AEK has won the championship and the cup. Shouldn’t they send congratulations? Not even for boys. He deals massive damage to Mitsotakis”.

About the museums and when they open:The tour will take place as usual. Sanctuary is 90% complete. Whoever goes in and out will cry. And the AEK Football Museum will be one of the finest in Europe. I expect they will open by the end of the year. The schools will come, there will be guided tours”.

Whether Almeida asked him for something on the Spetses cruise and which player he has a soft spot for:”I have a weakness for all players. If I have someone very special, then I have Petros Mandalo. When AEK played in the 3rd national league, he was chased by both big rivals and he signed with us. He played in the second national team. He has crossed twice and also heard Shlammars. I love him both as a person and as a footballer”.

On the question of whether there will be a special design on the jersey for the 100 years: ”I don’t know yet, but AEK is always the star in it. We’re thinking about something”

On Bennett’s thoughts on downplaying foreigners: “AEK does not engage in arbitration. Let Bennett find out at the EPA and the KED. That’s the reality. What should the referee do with VAR? There will be an error and what happened. They canceled our goal against PAOK without anyone understanding why. The thing is, mistakes are made, but the referee fixed that. And not to see referees with bow ties and a big name with history popping up on the channels”.
