In the way she dealt with National our team her Ireland mentioned the Ivan Jovanovich after the match in Dublin.
Speaking at the press conference, the Serbian coach appeared satisfied with the fact that Greece was not particularly threatened by its opponents, while he also spoke of Fotis Ioannidiscommenting that “he is in a phase of continuous improvement as a football player”.
In detail:
“In both games, in the first half we didn’t have the play we wanted to play. We didn’t have any particular risks through organized play though. In the second we were much calmer and organized. The goal is a product of cooperation, both the first and the second. We were good on the pitch. We will probably have these things because we don’t have time. The important thing is that when you win, you buy the time with a great desire to fix things. Every game and every such experience will help us later.
During the game, Ireland had a style of play but we had no risks. We faced no problems in organized play. The biggest problem was when we were in possession. We weren’t cool, we didn’t have a goal. We changed the ball without much substance. We couldn’t have good positions in the first half. In the second, things were much better, both in the attack and in the midfielders. We were forcing the opponent to turn back.
We had a lot of thoughts about Ireland. We know how he’s been playing the last several games. But we were also prepared for four in defense. Thinking that maybe something will change compared to the last matches, it was not a sudden thing for us.
We have good strikers. And Ioannidis and Pavlidis, and Douvikas. And Fotis has certainly made a very good start, scoring three goals. He is in a phase of continuous improvement as a football player. The game in England will be a very big challenge for him.
We are preparing as a team that must play at the highest level of teams. We have England in the group. There may be other strong teams in the World Cup qualifiers. In these games we will test ourselves against top level teams.”
