THE George Vagiannidis marked a good lesson for him Panathinaikos defeat by Atromitos (1-2) in the first quarter-final of the Betsson Cup.
“In the first 20-25 minutes one would have expected that we would win easily. The opposition could not keep the ball, our pressure was at a very good level, but from a static phase we conceded a goal due to a lack of concentration. Then we lost control and the match was tied. We conceded a second goal again due to a lack of concentration. Atromitos sat back, made delays, we made finals but couldn’t score“, emphasized the young right back.
“It’s a lesson for us, we always have to give 100%, because all the teams are very competitive. Fearless is very good at counterattacking. We should have been more decisive after the defeat in Peristeri, but we still conceded a goal from a corner. We will have to work on it in the analysis with the coach“, he added.
As for the fact that he wore the captain’s armband for the first time? “I wish it came with a better look and a better result, but it’s a big moment for me. I went to give it to Zeke because I grew up watching him and I couldn’t see him not having it».
