Kourbelis: “I left my team with 10 players, he paid for it, I am responsible”

Dimitris Kourbelis took responsibility for the defeat of Panathinaikos by Asteras in Tripoli.

The captain of the “trefoil” was sent off with a second yellow card in the 33rd minute and declared himself responsible for the negative result.

In detail, what he said to the Nova camera:

“I can’t talk football, take a position on the match. I left my team with 10 players, he paid for it, I’m responsible. I accept any criticism, everything»

For the image of Panathinaikos: “She is not having the best month, we were used to different standards and results. Football is like that, you get lucky and everything. In the second round there is a big difference between how we have won the games in the first round and how we lose them in the second round. We must raise our heads. If we bow our heads we have nothing to gain, because the road is still long».

For pressure: “We had pressure from the beginning, and when we had good results. We had to win every game, we knew it was going to be there. It’s not easy to be first, everyone is chasing you. Some games didn’t go our way. Today I was in charge, other times someone else. Now we have to raise our heads and show how strong we are, because the team is very good and has lost a lot of points at points».

Because it’s not just one player’s fault for the loss: “If it were anyone else in my position they would agree with you, but I am always a harsh critic of myself. You can’t hide from it».

For transcriptional enhancement: “The guys came to help, I believe, they are very good players, they have played at a high level».
