Nikos Papadopoulos emphasized that everyone in the National Team of Hope did an amazing job for the match against Croatia and he believes that they could have been ahead, he praised the quality of the opponents and considers the result unfair, he expects a similar performance in the match against Portugal and gave congratulations on the atmosphere created by the Arcade fans.
Analytically: “First of all, I would like to congratulate all the footballers and my partners for the amazing work we have done so far, but also in the game.
Our team, especially in the second half, gave their all to win the match. We had many phases to take the lead. Instead, we conceded a goal in a phase that we could have avoided. From then on, we continued, changed formations, the children responded and the equalizer came.
We were facing a team that has an amazing roster, most of their players have a lot of playing time in their teams, unlike many of our players, who don’t play in their teams. I think if one team had to beat today it was us. That is why we are left with bitterness about the final result.
I believe we will have a similar continuation and we will look at our next game on the 17th of the month against Portugal. It is a very difficult match against the favorite of the group, in my opinion, in which we will once again give our hearts.
Finally, I would like, once again, to congratulate our football players and thank the people of Tripoli for their support. It is important for these children to feel supported and also for the world to get to know them.”
