The goalkeeper of the ‘greens praised the work done in the main stage of preparation and was optimistic about the course of his team in the coming season in the league and in Europe.

In detail, Yuri Lodygin talked about:

-the work done in preparation: “Very good and organized work was done from all sides, of course we worked a lot on our physical condition, on strength, that’s why we came here. We also gave the friendly games we played over here, I can’t say that many things are deleted from what the coach asks and wants. Of course we need time, I believe that game by game will get better and of course we have a lot of work ahead of us in Athens”.

-whether Panathinaikos will be ready on July 25: “We can’t do otherwise, really whatever I say this is the way, this is our goal. From there we will do everything we can and everything we can, the goal is the first game. Whether we like it, whether we have time, or not, we will all work together to make it through the returns. Of course, we and the coach will help the players who were absent to get into the game faster.”

-the goals for the new season: “I like to talk according to the moments I would say, right now it’s the next game whether it’s a friendly or a training session. Step by step to get where we need to be, if we have the mentality of the winner, the mentality that you have to give 100%, follow the instructions, believe in the plan, if we do this of course we can win the championship and Europe we are doing well and not only”.

– his goals: “Surely these things go together, to tell you the truth, after 29-30 I understood that in order for me personally to succeed, the team must come first. My first goal is for the team to succeed, I say this because I believe it as much as ego and if I have, as much as I want only me to play, only me to win but alone you can do almost nothing. You can contribute to the team winning and from the course of the team, every football player and every person inside and outside the team wins and of course the fans”.

-Xenopoulos, who went to Kifissia: “We are very close to Vassilis, he is really an excellent child. He is also very fond of work. The moment has come where he too must try something else, make his own mistakes. Vasilis, I say this for you, don’t be afraid to admit your mistakes, regardless of the fact that you are now 25-26, you are old (laughs). To make his mistakes, the good games, the good seasons, if we succeed him in the Cup, be careful. He’s good at penalties, I wish him the best, he knows that since we’ve been talking all day I’ll tell him in person.”
