Darko Zakocs emphasized that PAOK did not show seriousness at the beginning of the match against Dinamo Zagreb, thanked the crowd for the support, asked for stability in his performance, addressed the injury problems and expects improvement and fewer mistakes in the European matches in January.
Analytically: “Congratulations to my players for reacting and playing in the ‘golden’ set as I want. Dinamo played excellently, ‘read’ our weaknesses, especially in the reception where we have a problem. I told the girls before the match not to underestimate the opposition and to forget the 0-3 in Croatia.
We didn’t approach the game seriously from the start. God helped us in the ‘golden’ set and we qualified. I thank the people who came to the stadium and supported us. What we want is to stabilize our performance. We have a difficult mission ahead of us either with Wiesbaden or with Galatasaray.
We faced injury problems, which forced us to improvise in training and matches. These games will take place in January and I believe that by then we will have corrected our mistakes and we will give everything to do better.”
Maria Economidou emphasized that: “We made it a little more interesting… We shouldn’t have! We have to be more stable, we can’t not show up in the remaining sets and have to get the ‘gold’. We expect better performances overall. I mean it’s very easy to judge without knowing what’s really going on. It is very difficult for the team, we have several injuries. We haven’t trained all together and we have a difficult schedule. We always strive for the best.”
