Jovanovic: “We were not at the level we are capable of – If Fotis’ shot had scored, things would have been different”

Sincere as always, Mr Ivan Jovanovich made his criticism about the match of our national team against England and admitted that the “three lions” were better today.

At the same time, he emphasized that Greece he could have performed better, while he said that if a goal was scored his chance Ioannidisthen things could be very different.

What he said in detail:

If he thinks that a goal was scored in Ioannidis’s chance, the national team could get a good result or the situation could be turned around:

“I don’t think defeat is normal. We could have performed better. We had also shown in England that we can be competitive. We had to have a similar look to get a good result. Yes, if Fotis scored a goal, things would have been different. But we shouldn’t stay there. I have no complaints from my players. Football-wise we were a click behind England, who scored the goal, took the advantage psychologically during the match.”

Was the national team bad or was England so good that Greece looked bad?

“England were very good and we were not at the level we can be. We could play a much better game, what we can do…”.

For the presence of the crowd, something that had to happen for a long time and the response of the fans:

“People love football and the national team. He wants something to push him to get on the field. After the 4 wins and the big win in England, it was a big motivation for them to come. But it depends on us, on our results, our course… There will certainly be disappointments, since they expected a lot from us, it is also for us after 4 consecutive victories, it is a difficult moment, since we played in a full stadium and we will have to next matches let’s keep them with us”
