Hatzidiakos: “We have failed”

The four games of the Nations League in July were set as a milestone by Pantelis Hatzidiakos in his statements, during which he admitted the failure of the National in its last two competitions.

«We did not justify ourselves. We had possession and greater opportunities. If we had scored the second goal we would have finished them“, Commented on his initial position and then answered questions:

For what is wrong with the team: “We need to be more efficient. The game would have ended 2-0. We lose phases, both defensive and offensive. It is not a matter of lines on the field, because we have the possession. As with Sweden today, we had possession and a very good balance. We must become effective as a team».

To be continued: “We will definitely be better in view of the Nations League. We will have child returns, but we also have friendly ones. Do not underestimate them, they are also important for Fifa Ranking. Then come four very important games in July, where we will have to show what we have created as a team in recent years. We really want it as a team, we discuss it, we work constantly and we have failed so far because we have lost important games».

On whether there is enough time for EURO2024 qualifiers: “We have not been given time, we have won it. We have beaten Sweden with very good football. We have failed, but we must justify ourselves. We have a very good team with very good players. We have to show in the four games of July how good a team we were».

About what the coach told them after the end of the match: “He told us that we did not get the result we wanted and that if we scored the second goal the game would be over. That is how we felt in the game, but as long as it is at 1-0 the others have hopes that they will equalize, as it happened».
