Kammenou: “I’m proud of the girls, let’s continue with the same will”

Alexia Kammenou emphasized that she feels proud of the National Polo athletes, praised her colleagues in the technical team, believes that there is time until the final phase in the USA in two months and spoke about the bad behavior in the defense.

Analytically: “A big thank you to my athletes for the great effort they have made. I am very proud of them and, if they continue with the same will, the same attitude and commitment, everything will come with time. It’s the truth, it’s what they deserve and I thank them, as well as my partners, we are all a team.”

He continued, saying: “From the beginning I have said that our big goal is to qualify for the final phase. Now, we have all the time ahead of us to prepare properly and show our true potential. We did not do well, as in the previous games, in personal defenses. Not allowing so many defensive mistakes. We have to improve one by one and it doesn’t cost us”.

Irini Ninou was named the most valuable player of the match with seven goals. “We are pleased, because, in the end, we got what we wanted and it was our big goal. The penalty shoot-out is extremely nerve-wracking for all teams, but in the end we did it and we’re all very happy about it. The most important thing is that at no point did we give up.

Obviously we were afraid that something might go wrong, but the most important thing is that this does not affect you psychologically so that you can continue, not to give up, to show your strength and, based on the teamwork that distinguishes us, to reach to our goal. The team clearly has greater potential than what it showed, we are still in the preparation period, but we have been preparing for a long time, we are trying, we are fighting, we want to be worthy of the expectations and what is certain is that in the final phase we will be much improved”.
