For one more game, Levadeiakos failed to celebrate the victory in the Stoiximan Super League, staying at 2-2 with Lamia for the 9th matchday.
After the end of the match the coach of the Viotia team, Nikos Papadopoulosreferred to the new, unsuccessful result, to the image of his team which is not reflected in the score, while he presented the lack of self-confidence as the main reason.
What he said to Nova’s camera in detail:
“It is something that has been repeated many times and we are tired of saying it. I think he has put the stress on us to get a win, with the result that when we get in front of the score, we are quite stressed, we stayed behind, we had no pressure on the opponent and that’s how we equalized.
I will say it one more time, that our image does not deserve us, to have this ranking position, but we are tired of saying it and we have to find a way to win, to have a clear mind, we have to get more confidence in the pitch as a team, to win matches.
Despite this, the team played football, fell behind in the score from the first minute, turned it around, but again our anxiety made us fall behind in the game again, as a result of which we conceded the second goal.
We have to continue the work, give psychological support to the players, build their confidence more and bring out more personality, that’s the key.
Football is played not only with the feet, but also with the mind. So we didn’t use our brains, although we have an experienced team and we will have to operate completely differently.”
