Vokolos: “I don’t think the team collapsed – Let’s work on our mistakes”

Statements about Lamia’s defeat by Olympiakos were given by Leonidas Vokolos.

The coach of the Fthiotida team emphasized that his team must work on their mistakes, while adding that he does not think that they collapsed, despite the heavy defeat.

His statements at the press conference in detail:

For the game: “A difficult game for us. We knew the dynamics and quality of Olympiakos. I had told the children that even the slightest mistake can be taken advantage of. In the first half we conceded 2 goals that we could have avoided. But that’s football. The road is uphill. We look at each game individually. Let’s work on our mistakes.”

That he played aggressively: “We didn’t play very open and aggressive. We were solid. I am not a coach who plays defensively or offensively. In the first half, we could have scored better and scored a goal. But that’s how things are.”

The change to the change with Longo and Acuna: “I don’t think the team collapsed. We were afraid that Longo had a rib problem and he was out and so we were with 10 players – which we shouldn’t have been – and Olympiacos is a team that takes advantage of outnumbered players. This does not invalidate the children’s effort. We continue. Keep your head down and a lot of work.”
