National coach: “Some have stuck to old logic – The player is psychologically bad”

“We should be talking about the competitive part in a very competitive game, unfortunately some things happened that show that some people have stuck to logic and philosophies of earlier years” said to “Channel One”, on the occasion of what happened yesterday in Komotini for the 3rd phase of the Greek Cup, the coach of Ethnikos.

Vangelis Handes described what happened in Komotini in yesterday’s match with the victim Spyros Georgousis, for whom he pointed out that he is in a bad psychological state, while last night he was forced to spend it in the detention center.

The interview of the national team coach Vangelis Hande in detail:

What happened in the game:

“It’s very uncomfortable for me to discuss these things because my role is completely different. Normally we should only talk about football but unfortunately we are forced to enter into such a process. It was a very competitive, very strong game between two very good teams, but some things happened because either some people have stayed in philosophies and logics of earlier years or because there is some tolerance from the teams in operational matters. We reached a point for no reason because there had not been any serious conflict between the footballers with episodes, until our player was hit. In fact, everything started from Pantrakiki’s bench, specifically with the player who entered the field”.



For the next day:



“The fate of the game will be determined by the competent bodies of the EPO. We were informed by the referee, we expressed our position that we are cautious about continuing the game and the referee decided to stop the match”.



For the health of the national football player:



“Spyros is in good health, he did the tests at the hospital, luckily it didn’t show anything worrisome. But he had to stay in the hospital for observation but the sad thing is that instead of being in the hotel or with us to rest he is in the police station which is shocking to the player as he didn’t do anything he was attacked by an agent of the opposing team and he himself is in the department.

In fact, last night we had no contact with him because his cell phone had also been taken. He hasn’t done anything to be detained yet. He is a representative of the team with him, we have an update that he is fine, we hope that the bureaucratic part is finished to end his suffering.
