Satisfied with the reaction of his players, and above all with their stubbornness, against OFI, the coach of Atromitos said, Sasha Ilyich.
The Serbian coach, after the 1-1 draw with the Cretans in Peristeri, emphasized that his team deserved to draw, while he emphasized that the opportunity has come for the young footballers to take their chance!
The statements of the Serbian technician:
“We knew we were playing against a very respectable opponent who has great quality, great training with the players, who can cause us problems at any time if you give them space and freedom.
Nevertheless, my players showed character today, they fought until the end, we showed that we don’t give up, an extremely fighting spirit and in the end we deserved the point of the draw.
We had a lot of absence problems, sick players, injured players, players in the Copa Africa, that’s life, that’s football, we’re moving forward and in three days we have a match in the Greek Cup against Larissa.
It’s great to score at the end but my players deserved it, they gave everything, they fought until the end. I have to congratulate Karamanis, he is young, he played the last 10 minutes, he was good with character. The youngsters are working hard and in the next period they will get their opportunities”.
About the Cup match with Larissa he said: “We played Larissa, it was a difficult game, they scored in the last minute in the first game. If we want to qualify we have to give 100%. I know my players are tired but we have 2-3 days to prepare and I think we will be ready.”
