What Foudoulis said in detail:



“It was a game that Novi came into stronger than us, with us constantly chasing the score. We managed to equalize before half-time and we all expected to show a better face afterwards. We were not as solid as we would have liked in our defense, while the ineffectiveness of the player above was what decided the result. After a certain point and then we started to operate more individually than we should. We had consecutive missed attacks and we had pressure. It’s a defeat by a very good team that deserved to win today”.

For the next day: “Of course there is disappointment, but it is not in our minds to stop trying. We will try to do everything we can in the next games. We wanted to win the trophy, but now is not the time to collapse. From there on we will see the continuation and the people of the club will judge what needs to be done to continue and get to where we all want”.

On the absence of Columbus: “The position of the plumber is crucial. The absence is a great loss, but it is no excuse, because he has been absent for a long time. I hope he comes back soon”.
