Giorgos Petraeas emphasized that Panathinaikos was affected by injuries throughout the season and fatigue came out of them along the way, he spoke about the bad psychology from the elimination in the Challenge Cup and in some matches that were lost, he believes that it is not professional that was more concerned with the European elimination and he didn’t want to talk about his future in the team.
Analytically:
For the year’s report: “We managed to win two of the five titles we claimed. I think the team fought. He gave what he had and what he didn’t have. We had injuries, there was fatigue and it was here. At least we end the year with a trophy.
Certainly, a big goal for us was the European one. It was something we really wanted. We made it all the way to the semi-final and it was something we really wanted. From there, we wanted some time to recover and maybe lost some goals and some games that we wanted to win and could to have a better place in the league playoffs. Panathinaikos is certainly growing, it is where it should be.
In the semi-finals, in the finals and in winning the titles. I think he will continue what you see in the coming years because the team is in the hands of people who know the mentality of the athlete, but also what a team needs to make a championship.”
On how long it took them to recover from being knocked out by Olympiakos in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup: “We wanted enough time to recover. Of course, we are professionals, but we are also people above all. It still lingers in our minds. That is why there is also a bittersweet taste in children. We think that something different could be done.
History is history. It is written and there is nothing else we can do. Congratulations to the children, but also to the people who came to this big stadium and gave the pulse to win this trophy.”
On his future: “I don’t know what will happen. I will speak to the team as I have a contract until the end of May. From there, we’ll see and you’ll know the news soon.”
