After Greece prevailed in Helsinki, Giorgos Masouras said in his statements that the national team has raised its level and that Ivan Yovanovitch managed to bring calmness and self-confidence for the positive results to come.
Giorgos Masouras made statements after the victory of the Greek national team against Finland, with the 30-year-old winger stating that the team exceeded expectations, after coming close to occupying the first place in the standings, while he then spoke highly of Ivan Jovanovic, who as he pointed out, gave calmness and confidence to the players.
The statements in detail:
For Greece’s first victory in Helsinki: “The goal was for the National team to react after a bad result for us, but in the second year we definitely had to get the three points. Let’s see what else we could get from the other game if we were a little lucky.
We won for our own rating, for our prestige and to be sure of the second potential group for the World Cup qualifiers.
We had confidence in ourselves. We thought something good would happen. I think it exceeded everyone’s expectations. I think they were very nice games. We beat the rival teams inside and out and had a big win against England. For a mediocre game of ours, we didn’t manage to come out even first in the standings”.
On what has changed for the better in the team: “As I’ve said again, in the last five years, a number of coaches have stepped up, all in their own special way. They’ve helped the team level up and make us feel more secure, have more confidence to be able to put things out on the pitch. .
I think Ivan Jovanovic came at the right time, when the team was at a good level psychologically, to give the detail that football needs to take the biggest step. It gave the team more calmness, confidence with the ball at their feet, longer ball possessions until we can unlock the moment to unlock the opponent to score.”
For the team’s tactical approach to the game: “Ivan Jovanovic has given the instructions to be patient, to manage to have a rational way to open up the defences. There was not so good communication in the final pass, but in the end we have different ways of doing it and players with different characteristics so so that we manage to score”.
