The statements of Alexandros Gerasimos Pagoulatos in detail:



For the progress of the National Children’s Team: “It’s great that we’ve made it five out of five so far in such a difficult competition, especially with all that’s going on in the country at the moment. We are now focused on beating the Spaniards and going to the final.”

To reward their efforts after intense preparation and demanding matches: “We have worked really hard for 40-45 days together with our coaches and we are very happy that this is coming out with positive results on the pitch. We’ve been through a lot together as a team, we’ve had injuries, we’ve had absences, but all the guys, who we talk to every day, we expected to do well.”

For the semi-final with Spain: “It is very important for the psychology of the team that we only have victories and even against difficult teams that all qualified from our group to the eight. We advance to the tournament without having played a theoretically easy team and this is good for our confidence. In the friendly against Spain we also showed character with them, but because they also have experience, we must not relax and I believe we can win.”
