Pavlidis: “We have to put the pieces in order because that’s how life is”

The belief that he and his teammates are forced to put the pieces in a row, after the death of George Baldock, expressed Vangelis Pavlidis.

The Greek striker, who was also the main protagonist in the great victory over England, emphasized that the internationals could not show what they felt at “Wembley” because they didn’t even know what they felt! He noted, however, that inside they were happy because they put on an excellent performance in honor of their former teammate.

Regarding the match against Ireland, he recommended everyone’s attention, saying that after great results you can step on it…

For the match against England and the two days after Baldock’s death: “The truth is that the whole two days was up and down in emotions. We had to face them, it was difficult for the team and Greece. We are professionals and we had to play the game. We had to play for George and give our souls. Apart from the result, we made a good appearance and inside we were happy because we did it for Giorgos. We couldn’t show what we were feeling because we didn’t know what we were feeling. We have to put the pieces in order because that’s life and we have to move on.”

For the match against Ireland: “I think they are a good team and have good players. He gives it his all and the players run and score. In the previous matches we had positive results and that is what we are looking for now, to redeem what happened in England”.

On how important it is for the national team to have so many great strikers: “Certainly all the players are important for our team. I believe that in many positions we have a variety of players and that’s why the team shows a good face. We are a strong set of players.”

For the winning streak and if there is pressure: “Certainly after great victories we have stepped on it. The group is gathered for the game. The match in England was difficult because of the opponent and George”

For the trust of the world: “It is the most important thing for a national team to see full stadiums. The people are thirsty for a big event and I hope they understand that we are giving everything, because we want him by our side. It creates difficulties for the opponents.”
