The “green” right-back represented his teammates at the press conference ahead of the match against Maccabi Haifa, stressing that the positive that came out of the break was that the team worked on certain parts of the game, while he also spoke about the quality of the Israeli team .

In detail, the statements of Giorgos Vagiannidis at the press conference:

On the suspension of the championship and the inactivity of the last few days: “It was also something positive, because we worked. We had back-to-back training sessions. It worked out well for us, we worked on some things and we will go in more prepared.”

If Panathinaikos goes for two results: “We are not going for two results. For one. We must honor the shamrock we wear. In all the games we enter only for the win and not for the draw. We will do the same now.

It’s very clear how important this game is. To return after 14 years to the final phase of an event. We have all understood, we will enter properly. Always keeping in mind how important the game is and what a good team we will face».

What he thinks Panathinaikos should pay more attention to based on the first match in Haifa: “In the first game we had some problems with our back. We had some issues with it and we will try to improve it. Let’s get more focused on this part. In all the games in Europe, the physicality is at a much higher level. The runs, the power and that’s what we have to deal with. We have to do the same now and we will definitely go for the win. Maccabi in relation to the first game in Israel, has some problems with the war and maybe football for them is a way out to get more focused and get a win. It is a great honor for them that they can and are fighting despite the problems that exist in their country».
