For the excellent performance and the nice football played by the National Team: “Very nice to come this way. With variety in the scorers. The point is to manage situations. We knew there was a difference in quality. This was quickly overcome and everything went on its way.”

For the two great assists against Kazakhstan: “Fotis’ move is amazing. That was not my original thought. You challenge the opponent to see the situations. Fotis did what he had to do”
For “Nazario”: “I call him that because of his celebration. But hours and hours he does things that remind me of him”
For the assist on Pelkas: “We have agreed on that. We are wingers and we try to lean inside and fill the area”
