Kammenou: “We conceded a goal we shouldn’t have”

On her camera ERT her trainer spoke National of Greece, Alexia Kammenouright after defeating me 8-5 by Australia and the exclusion of our representative group from the foursome of the Women’s Polo World Cup. The lack of patience was addressed by our federal coach, showing her disappointment at the exclusion, but also her satisfaction, regarding the effort of her players, during the event.

More specifically, he reported how “We had trouble attacking, we didn’t have patience like in the previous games. We were in a hurry and it cost us. We conceded some goals at the start that we shouldn’t have conceded from easy phases. Let’s keep calm, unfortunately we will play again for places 5-8, we really wanted and have tried hard to get into the top four. We were in good shape in general but in this game we did not go well. Dismissals were few in our favor despite Australia’s almost unsportsmanlike play. When we reacted, we rushed, we didn’t make the extra pass like we did with Italy. In the end, the ball didn’t want us either, the goal didn’t come out at the crucial moment, we were fighting to equalize, we didn’t succeed. We were a bit disoriented by Italy’s qualification over the USA because we now knew that if we won, we would qualify from today to the Olympic Games. This did not happen and now Australia must be left out of the final because Italy’s victory over the USA for the European tickets to the Olympics will be a foregone conclusion. But we should care about improving because it’s not that we didn’t play well, that I’m not happy with our performance so far, if we had a little patience we could get into the top four. Managing such games takes experience, if you don’t play, you don’t win, you don’t claim, you don’t lose, you don’t learn. When we approach the dream and lack patience, we fail. We will work to be better in the future.”

Now, the Hellas has to face her Hungaryin the battle for positions 5 to 8. The Magyars were also excluded from the quartet, bending me 9-12 from Spainin the last of the four quarterfinals.
