Odysseas Vlachodemos emphasized that he knew where Mbappe would take the penalty and it fell correctly in the match of the national team at the Stade de France”, he considers qualifying for EURO 2024 a dream and praised the atmosphere created by the French and Greek fans.
Analytically:
On his injury: “You should have asked the doctors. I was sick, I was in pain, but I took pills. Adrenaline helped. I had also told Paschalakis to be ready. I thank the doctors and physiotherapists.”
About the penalty shootout: “We had played against Paris with Benfica and there Bape scored in the same corner. I fell there. In the replay, I was sure he was going to send it the other way, but I couldn’t catch it.”
About the match against France: “It was a difficult match against a top team. We wanted to get something, we didn’t, but I think what we showed today will help us in the next matches.
We believe so. It is a dream to go to the Euros. We deserve it as a team. We play good football. In Euro you will only play big teams and we were tested to see what we can do against such good players. It was a good match, even though we lost.”
On the atmosphere at Stade de France: “Fantastic stadium, nice atmosphere. A ‘thank you’ to the people who came. We want them by our side.”
