THE Fotis Ioannidis after the defeat of Panathinaikos by Villarreal, he spoke about his team’s sluggish start, while emphasizing that they could enter the match with a goal and get a result.
In fact, the Greek striker also referred to the phase of the missed penalty that preceded Palasios’ goal, while he also glorified the Alberto Brignolidescribing him as a “top goalkeeper”.
His statements in detail:
“We didn’t manage the game the way we should from the beginning of the match. We were a little lazy. At half-time I came on and said we have to score a goal to get into the game and then everything happens. Even though we conceded a third goal, we saw that with Palasios’ goal we got back into the game and almost got the result”
For the penalty phase where he did not find the net but Palacios took the “rebound” and reduced it he said: “That will happen too. We will also miss penalties, what matters is how we continue the game. The easy thing would be to put my head down, get irritated. Nothing is over in 66′, we had close to 30 minutes ahead of us. I managed to score to draw.”
In closing, he addressed Alberto Brignoli: “He proved why he is a top goalkeeper”.
