In his statements in the mixed zone after the game, Dimitris Pelkas emphasized that everyone is aware of the progress made by our representative group and underlined that the next goal for the blue and white team is promotion to League A.
What he said in detail:
For the victory in Finland: “We controlled the pace from the beginning to the end. We won for the first time and broke the pomegranate. But it was not very easy, the pitch was not good and it was cold. It is positive that we scored 15 points, the same as England. These are steps that people see and that’s why the stadium is full at OAKA. Everyone understands that it is progressing and changing the level. Everyone wants to see the national team succeed again. What happened in the match in England we felt that we united a state”.
For the fact that the National Team is progressing: “We’ve been waiting for it, it’s not a 2-3 month outbreak. We got close to the Euros and now a coach who knows Greek football has arrived and we’re improving. The next goal is to get into the Elite of the Nations League and get back to the big competitions. It’s nice to play big teams like England”.
For what Ivan Jovanovic has brought: “He wants us to have the ball at our feet, to have possession, but he also wants tremendous discipline. He has brought a lot of things, but he will bring more.”
Regarding the fact that the National Team scored at the start of the second half in three of the six matches of the group: “He had a bit of gas at half-time.”
For the future of this team: “The foundations have been laid and other talented children are coming. Football is about moments. If it was 1-1 in the second half, we could have won. We don’t let anyone from outside enter the group and the fact that we got a reaction is important. We know how we work and I hope we can get even stronger.”
