Petrakis: “We deserved a different result against PAOK – We want Lomonako to stay”

Panaitolikos came close to getting a positive result (which they deserved) against PAOK and Yannis Petrakis expressed his satisfaction with the image of his team.

In detail what he said:

For the overall picture of the match with PAOK: “We have to say well done to our children for the image, the effort and what they put in on the field. Regardless of the fact that the result was not good for the match, we deserved more than what we got. The result does not invalidate everything else I said. It certainly could have been different based on image and opportunities. Big thanks to the people who support, it’s a little “thank you” for what they give us every Sunday. The game is over, our minds are on to the next one».

For the appearance of Panaitolikos: “I have said before that everything has an order. What the players testify we should recognize. They give their souls. Improvement never stops. For no one. There is no ceiling on it. I believe we can do much more. It’s all about work. To know what I want, to set goals and to become better. If you progress you get a lead for the fight you are fighting. The result may be positive, it may not. They play many roles. A bad moment, a momentary inaction, a wrong decision by the referee. Anything affects. It is important to measure what we seek and serve».

On whether there will be transfers in January: “I have learned to completely trust those who are with me as long as I believe it. The picture of the team shows that all these guys can. I’m not in favor of bringing in players and canceling something we have and believe in. If the team really needs something better, of course we are open. But proven. We have very good players. They are subject to a lot of great development and improvement. If something comes up along the way that I think can make a difference, we’re always open, but I can’t say specific things».

On the subject of Lomonaco’s transfer: “We want him to stay. But this is not in our control. In December, the loan ends, the team to which it belongs has the first say. We want the child to stay, we’ll see if we succeed».

On how vindicated he feels about Lomonaco’s run: “It is valuable to recognize everyone in what we do. Progress is for everyone. And journalists. You are an active part of the game. As long as the team is high, your participation and role is also rising. The same goes for us, the players and the management. Through progress there is reciprocity for all. More about Mr. Kostoula who is responsible for what happens in the team. Everything is shared when there is teamwork. So let’s get better and collect things».
