On the team’s display:

«I admit I was expecting such a performance. Besides having three clean-cut midfielders, we also had Pelkas and Mystakidis at our disposal, meaning a total of five attack-minded players. That was a plus to our game. I have to congratulate my players. It was important to secure our qualification in the competition. Now we need to concentrate on the match against Panionios«.

On whether the team’s performance exceeded his expectations:

«I fielded guys who hadn’t played a lot. Before the game, I told them they would have to convince me in order to get more opportunities –and they did«.

On Cimirot and Antonis:

«Cimirot’s absence through injury was a blow for us. Despite not having seen him in action a lot, we saw interesting things from him today. Regarding Antonis, I am satisfied with him. He is unlucky as there are 8-9 players in the roster in his position and I can’t use more than 2-3 per game. Despite coming from an underdeveloped league, I also saw interesting things and I will be able to count on him more often«.

On the team’s reaction after the early opener of AO Chania:

«Yes, the team reacted correctly. But we must admit there is a certain difference in quality between the two sides«.

On the display of Sabo:

«I am happy for him and for scoring those goals. We knew he is good, we knew what type of player he is, but sometimes it’s hard to guess how much adaptation time a newcomer will need. Today we are satisfied, because he confirmed his improvement«.

On whether he saw his troops bring out elements they hadn’t shown in previous matches:

«I am happy about it. Far from me to underestimate the work of the rival coach, but we mustn’t forget that we were playing against a second-tier team. We must leave this match behind us as quickly as possible and be sure to show the same determination and skills in upcoming games as well«.
