Proud of his players and pleased with the presence of his team, said Sasha Ilyich after the defeat (0-2) of Atromitos by Panathinaikos and its exclusion from the continuation of the Betsson Greek Cup.
The coach of Peristeriotas emphasized that the “blue and white” played their game, while also referring to the many absences and the collected games they have played in the last fortnight.
From then on, he emphasized that his team will give everything for the show playoffs of the Stoiximan Super League, while making it clear that he is not thinking about the future in everything to do with renewal of his cooperation with Atromitos, with whom, as he added, he will discuss the matter after the end of the season.
In detail, Sasha Ilyich spoke about:
-the match: “First I want to say congratulations to Panathinaikos. I am very proud of our players, they gave everything. We didn’t have the luck like in the previous match to send the game to overtime. But that’s football».
-the inhibitory approach of Atromitos and whether it was due to the momentum of Panathinaikos: “In the last 15 days we have played five matches and we are missing many players, so it is difficult for us to have energy. Today we had our plan. Panathinaikos scored a goal in the first half, I don’t know if it was a foul. It is difficult to score 1-2 goals every time».
-if the game was regularly feared: “I have never been afraid in my life. We had the plan to make a smart and balanced game. I said before that we were playing against one of the best teams in Greece. We played our game. I am very pleased».
-what is the realistic goal of Atromitos until the end of the season and whether he has started to think about his presence on the bench of the Doves for the next one as well (his contract ends in the summer): “We have six games left and we will give it our all. Certainly, the odds are not on our side. I can’t make any promises. Let’s not forget that when I arrived Atromitos was in the last places, so we expect some improvement. We are also waiting for players to return.
No, right now I’m not thinking about the future at all (including next season). I am focused on my team’s goals and when the season is over we will talk».
