Kontis: “I haven’t met this again, many players had cramps – problem lack of energy”

In detail, the press conference of Christos Kontis after Panathinaikos 1-1 with Olympiacos on Avenue:

For the level of Panathinaikos and the picture after 1-0: “We stood well, we closed the spaces in the first half. We didn’t have many opportunities, of course, but we didn’t let Olympiacos do many.

Juricic was playing from 70 ‘with cramps. We lost players and energy on the pitch and these matches want energy. We lost measures. Regularly I couldn’t do much. We did not manage the match with our thoughts, but with what it gave us in its course. At 1-1 they also became some straps, but lack of energy was the biggest problem”

For his own thoughts and their management in the derby: “I didn’t say much before the match, the players don’t need a special motivation to play in a derby on the avenue. They made passion, soul and I am distressed for the children. It is not easy in 2-3 days to change a lot. Feelings are difficult, we will continue to refresh them, give them a push and work in as many areas we can”

For the roster: “I can’t judge it to 100%. When you come to a team … I watched the games from now. When you go in, you also see personalities, everyday life, how they react, perception. I think the roster has quality, it has to become even more team. It must have a plan. He wants the player guidance, to help the mentality and to give the guidance needed to perform on the pitch”

For many matches and psychology: “In demanding games we need to rotation. The players need to realize that they have to put their own stone. Psychology changes with a result. If we had won it would be all different. We have a European race ahead, to aim for a good performance and to make a win”
