Petrakis: “It was in our favor that we were ahead 2-0”

Yannis Petrakis emphasized that the qualification to the quarter-finals of the Cup counts for Panaitolikos against a team with quality and a Stoiximan Super League roster, he focused on the quick lead and the correct management in the second half and the fact that players with a short playing time competed and gave slogan for the match with OFI on Saturday.

Analytically: “The most important thing is that we passed to the next phase, which was also the goal. We were playing with a team that, with the roster it has and the way it plays, could also compete in the above division. Our job was difficult from the start, we were favored by being 2-0 up early, we controlled the game, in the second half we managed well, we were not threatened, we did not threaten.

The way the game went I think it’s very important that we go to the next phase. I’m happy because I was given the opportunity to play guys who don’t have playing time, who showed that we can do things, I’ve always believed that and it’s not by chance in our team and that makes me very happy.

We look at each game individually. Now, we have a very difficult game in Heraklion, we will wait for the result of OFI with Kifisia, next Tuesday we have the Cup again, but I think we should not put everything together, let the children rest one by one, let’s go to the next game and we’ll see.”
