THE Hellas faces Friday (07/06) the Germany in a great friendly match and Nikos Papadopoulos he referred to the press conference of the match on the atmosphere in the team but also his plans.
What he said in detail:
“I think there is disappointment that we are not in the Euro but it is important for the game with Germany to be competitive, to pass our philosophy on to the children. Not to be passive, to create problems for the opponent and to get a good result. I am sure that all the footballers are focused on the team, they love it, they are trying hard, they have left behind the heartache at the Euros and we will have a good image.
What I have noticed is that all the footballers fought to enter the Euro and it is an honor for them to wear the national emblem. They have shown it. For me tactics and strategy play an important role but I always keep in mind, it is what distinguishes the Greek. Let’s get on the pitch, enjoy it and get an important result. You won’t see anything different, I can’t make many changes because I’ve been around for a while. I can change their psychology to respond to this difficult game.
Passion is an important factor. To follow the plan and the strategy and to enjoy the game.
It will be a very big mistake to change many things against such a strong opponent. I’ll try to put in some stats myself based on the opponent and players with specific stats. I think we won’t have many changes.
The truth is that I have in mind to use all the players because we have the possibility to make six changes in the games. I will try to give participation time to all the children and the new ones that have come. Sometimes you have problems coaching during the match but in my mind I have to give everyone time to play.
Jolly’s development has been very good, he had an excellent season for goals and assists and for that he has interest from many teams.
Many times the motivation is there by itself when you play with a good team. With the image we have in training, we will have a completely different image than what anyone imagines and against a very good opponent”.
The present in S.T. also gave Christos Tzoliswhich stated the following:
“The truth is that there are many Greeks in the region and we want to see them on the field with Germany as well. We have to enjoy it on a nice pitch and get a good result. It will be seen tomorrow what evidence I can give, I have already played 13 matches, I hope to help to have a positive image, to have final efforts, I am a striker who tries to create and I will show it tomorrow.
It is next to the city where I live, in a nice field, Germany suits me as a country and I hope we will have a good result.
We have two friendly games where I have a chance to help the National team, to show what I can do. It is completely different from the collective level.
The opportunity is important, in a strong friendly, I have a long time to play in the national team at Men’s level. I’m really looking forward to racing and I hope to have a good performance.
We can’t change a thing. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to meet at Euro. Now we look to the future, the game with Germany, with Malta and to have a positive development in the future of the national team”.
