At the same time, he stood in the bad appearance of our national, but also to the ultimate leader of “blue whites”, Giannis Antetokounbos.
In detail what he said:
“We went there and fought. We have a very big talent in our team. Everyone can score, everyone can play defense. We play with our hearts, we all love each other, we all play for each other. We have a great coach who always gives us confidence before the game. We had a good shot and we just went there to fight. ”
About what Ataman told them before the match: “He told us that we are the best team. I know that. He said to me, “I train 30 years. If I say something, it’s true.” He gave us confidence and we went out to play. “
To change the mindset between first and second half: “As I said before, it doesn’t have to be my night every night. It may be my teammates. I just had to stay aggressive, continue playing aggressively, again and again. The ball was coming to me, I knew it, and I was just trying to do the best in defense and finish the easy phases in the attack. I did my job today and I’m happy. “
For the cause of Greece’s poor appearance: “It wasn’t that they played badly. It’s a great team, they’ve played very well. We were just more aggressive, we fought more, we played harder than them and put the shots. Tonight we were better. “
For the shot against Yannis Antetokounbos: “We put Erkan on him and helped him as much as we could. He did a great job today. John is one of the best players in the world, we just tried to help Erkan and I think we did well. He’s not a great passer – he’s a great player, but not a big passer. We tried to close the racket and make it difficult for him. “
