His press conference was once again full of… expletives and enjoyable Ivan Jovanovich!
The Serbian coach, after Panathinaikos’ victory over Volos, said among other things that Alberto Brignoli he was upset after his mistakes against Fearlessbut today he was the happiest in the whole team!
At the same time, he stood on Geremegev and he emphasized that he will help another in the future, while when he was asked about whether he is thinking of putting him Ioannidis behind the forward, he claimed that he is not going to do this since he has been trying to make him a striker for… 2.5 years!
Finally, he emphasized the importance of today’s victory for his team, in view of the demanding continuation.
“The fate of the big teams depends on the results. What has been happening to us lately is normal, when we don’t get the results we want. It was important for us to get a result, having three matches in six days. It was important to change our image. Competitive and scoring. We needed the points. It was important that we won so that the players could rest and prepare for a demanding schedule in January. It was a strong game, Volos is pressing and always dangerous. We were focused and managed to open the scoring. From then on we were in the mood and finished it off pretty well.”he initially said.
For Geremegev: “I am the coach of a team with a good roster. The coach always evaluates according to the games and the conditions. Alex’s effort is not accidental, he works hard in training, looks for opportunities and whenever he had them he was very good and helped us in games like today. Today will help him and the team for the future. It is not easy for a gel with little time to always be ready and substantial. He works very well and very patiently waits his time. Because we will have a lot of games, for sure Alex will have a lot more time.”
On whether he thinks after today to make Ioannidis ten: “I’ve been trying to make him a striker for 2.5 years now, if I turn him around, we go back two and a half years. He is a modern player with the ability to play with or without the ball. He is a striker and in games he can potentially help us in another position with the other guys like Geremegev and Sporar. It is not something that has happened for the first time. It depends on our game and on the behavior of the opponent. Today this helped us, in others it didn’t, but it’s not something standard for me. It’s something we can potentially use again.”
About Alberto Brignoli: “I have of course spoken to him. Alberto is very upset. It’s been pretty rough and that’s normal. Today he was probably the happiest person we won. This is what happens in football. It is important for players to overcome mistakes. Alberto has our maximum support and I am sure that tomorrow he will be who he has been for the last 2.5 years. We all have bad times. It is important to have people by your side to support you. The whole football department is with him.”
