Petrakis on bwinSPORT FM 94.6: “The priority is the championship, we will fight for our hopes of going to the final”!

First the championship and for the best in the Cupis the signal he sent through News Bulletin 247 The George Petrakis for this year’s course Panaitoliko.

The Agriniotes they made history, after qualifying for the first time in the “4” of the Cup, but the Greek coach emphasized that his obligation is to keep the team in the division, without this meaning that he will not fight for the final.

After all, this it’s something people are asking for in Agrinio and then spoke about PAS and OFI, which have not had the best results lately.

What Giorgos Petrakis said in detail on the show “Pressing” with Vaios Tsoutsikas and Michalis Tsochos

For the success of Panaitolikos to reach the semi-finals of the Cup, while at the same time they are called to fight for their stay in the league: “For us, the main goal is the championship. It is a great pleasure to be in the semi-finals. First for us is the league and then the Cup. The hopes we have we will try to fight and exhaust them, in order to go to the final. Our main goal is the championship, where we have reached in the Cup is success, but we have to look at our main goal.”

For the world: “It’s a dream, which I respect, because for the first time Panaitolikos will play in a final, but on the other hand I have a big responsibility for the team to stay in the division and that’s something I have in mind.”

For this year’s course in the championship: “To say what exactly is to blame, we have to go very deep to see that football is affected by many factors. It has to do with everyone’s everyday life and effort. The truth is that in many matches we did not get the results we deserved for our image. Our team is in such a position to give us the right to claim. What we want, other groups also want, with the same passion and the same anxiety. There is a big battle every Sunday, for who will survive. There is no easy game and we will have to give our best effort, and with the exception of one half with Aris, we have proven that we fight every match. And we hope our effort will reward us in the end.”

For the fact that Nikos Karelis has not yet scored in the league: “He has submitted his credentials. This year, from the moment I arrived, Karelis was injured, as he had a back problem and was out for two months. Then we can not press the button and it comes in full form. Nikos is putting in a lot of effort and needs his time and must prepare mentally and physically to get the most out of it. When that doesn’t happen, you’re not well. We still have 12 games and what he hasn’t done so far, I hope he will give us later.”

For the message he would like to send to the world: “Panaitolikos has a lot of good things for a team at the level of the first national team, it has the infrastructure at a competitive and technical level, and represents a large region in Western Greece and has all the conditions to be a team in the first division. And our job is to do our best for it to stay in the A’ division”.

For PAS and OFI, two teams with a history that have not been going well lately: “He has special feelings for both teams. I am a professional and I want to be useful to those who gave me the honor to coach this team. This is our job, I have it clear. I hope that PAS and OFI will find their way, but I’m only looking at my job and that the team will go as far as possible”.
