Dabrauskas on OFI’s funeral at home: “Let’s bring a priest or do… an exorcism”

OFI counts one goal in the last six games he has conceded to Jeddy Koule and Valdas Dabrauskas, despite being worried, does not lose his sense of humor.

The coach of Cretans emphasized that his team appeared improved against AEK and after underlining the need to correct the home goal, added humorously: “Maybe we should bring a priest or do… an exorcism. I don’t know what needs to happen to solve this.”

In detail, what he said at the usual press conference:

For the upcoming match against Levadeiakos: “In every game we want to go for the win and it is dangerous to separate regular time from the next games. We haven’t won anything yet and we have to communicate that to everyone because we still have eight games, but we have to talk about the whole year. We all work and have contracts until the end of the year. The season is not over and we all have to show respect to all of us, the team and the people.”

For the match with AEK: “We took many steps forward from the first game we played against AEK in Athens and even the one on Sunday. The difference is in the small details we gave them two goals, we had a bad concentration and the players are not happy and they took their responsibilities. In the first goal this happened. We constantly talk to the players about the mistakes we made, how we need to improve and what we need to do to become better through training. Tell me how to solve the problem of the second goal through training? It happened that day and in the game against AEK and we have to keep learning from our games and improving. There are definitely positives from the game with AEK, such as OFI being the team that gave them the most final attempts in the league, that they have an average possession of the ball of 65% and with us it ended at 54%”.

For the scoring problem that OFI has presented at home: “I agree that one goal in six games in Heraklion is a big problem. But we still have four games in Heraklion and it’s an opportunity to improve and put these results behind us. In two away games we have scored eight goals and in six at home we have scored one, it is a problem and we all know it. But with AEK we were much improved, but at the end of the day the result remains and that we lost. Everyone lives there and the world, but our job is to find why this result came about. Maybe we should bring in a priest or do an… exorcism. I don’t know what needs to happen to solve this.”
