Crespo on Ingason: “I’m not impressed – He doesn’t have a big connection with PAOK”

Jose Angel Crespo commented on Ingason’s choice to return to Greece on behalf of Panathinaikos. The Spanish former ace of PAOK spoke to Metropolis stressing that it is something that does not surprise him as he is a player who during his time at PAOK did not acquire the bond that Vieirania has acquired.

What he said in detail:



On Ingason’s return to Greece on behalf of Panathinaikos:



“If Vieirania, who has such a strong bond with PAOK, did it, it would surprise me, but for Ingasson, no, because he doesn’t care if people disapprove of him, he only cares about the game and nothing else. So it doesn’t surprise me that he will now favor the greens.”

For PAOK’s great opportunity to enter the Champions League groups:



“Lucescu knows very well what entry into the Champions League groups means for PAOK. He’ll do anything to get the Two-Headed Man of the North there.”

For the conquest of the Euro by Spain:



“The Spaniards star and excel and develop abroad and that helps the national team to have so much success.

I had De La Fuente as a coach before I turned professional at Sevilla. He is an amazing person and coach who has a lot of experience from the small national teams of Spain. He has proven how good he is, there is confidence in his face, he knew very well the group of these players and it is no coincidence what he achieved on the pitches of Germany.

Spain won the Euro and with the development these players will have after two years they can also lift the World Cup in 2026.

Watching Spain’s friendlies before the European Championship I saw a team that performed well, but I had an insecurity about how they would perform in the knockouts.

However, I was disproved as I saw players who despite their young age had tremendous maturity and with the evidence they showed they can achieve much more in the future.

As for Euro MVP, I’d go for Fabian Ruith, who had an amazing tournament.”
