“Bam and Kato” with Giorgos Simos!

Babis Christoglou and Stavros Chondrothimios hosted in his studio News Bulletin 247 the veteran footballer and current coach, who spoke about everyone and everything!

For the national team, Ivan Jovanovic, Greek football as a whole, while he gave the answer to big question if successes come through good company.

Among other things he said about:

– the national team with Jovanovic at the helm: “I watch the national team a lot. I like that a man came and gives the direction that we are going to look in the eyes of everyone, we have the ability to attack. I think that’s what was missing a little bit from our team. We have respect for the opponent, but also faith in our abilities. I know this national team because I was at Elpidon two years ago, with Van Schip and then with Mr. Poget. This team is an amazing team and company above all else. Quality is a given, our players play in the best leagues and in the best teams in our country. Our teams are of the same high level as the European ones. We wronged ourselves by not going to the Euros, it would have been unique to end the season with participation in the Euros. Because the product in the country is going up and will continue to go up. As long as we keep investing. Nothing is missing from the National Team. He can play in any way, however the coach chooses, we have that option. The match is 90 minutes. You may have a dominant role for a certain period of time, you may defend yourself and suffer for ten minutes. Our players are one and the same».

– whether he would start Mouzakitis and Zafiris in midfield against England: “I personally wouldn’t do it. You must have consistency and stability as a national team. It will be better for both players to have a smoother transition. The national team has a good performance, it rises from game to game. Mr. Jovanovic knows better than anyone. They will have better motivation, to come in during to help and that will be judged by the coach».

– the fact that new players are now coming out in Greece: “Our talent is too great and will not stop. Investments have been made by major teams in our country, such as PAOK and Olympiacos, culminating in Olympiacos winning the Youth League. All this happens because there is a “want” and I work for it, not because it happened. B teams enable footballers to play. Let Kostoulas play 25 games for example».

– whether it is a cliché that success comes through good company: “It’s the reality, it’s not a cliché. The successes we’ve had, each at his own level, whether it’s first division or second or local, we’ve brought them through good company».

– the logic that makes the decisions as a coach: “As a coach I want there to be logic and justice. Even if things don’t go well, you don’t lose the locker room. You shouldn’t try to pull rabbits out of a hat».
