For a day that from the first moment did not go well for the “green ones“, for players who were not ready to make the transition from Thursday’s European game to that of the league premiere, but also for the tiring sprints due to the distances, said the George Vagiannidis.
In detail what he said to Cosmote TV, shortly after the 1-0 win over Panathinaikos by Asteras AKTOR:
“From the beginning it seemed that we had not entered well. There was laziness, inactivity. The suspension affected the game a lot. We had the ball at our feet, but we couldn’t create situations to be more dangerous.
It’s a day we didn’t expect like this. We have to be ready every Thursday and Sunday to make the transition from the European games to the league. Today we were not. On the mental side, we were pleased with our performance against Ajax. There were changes in the 11, those of us who got the chance to play had to be more decisive in the game.
When you play such attacking football with such high pressing, you have to be ready to turn quickly and have good balance at the back. The easiest would be to steal high and attack again. Today there was distance, maybe our legs were heavy and there were long distances and we had to turn 60 meters back in the sprint to cover. This tired us the most…”.
