«Morale-boosting qualification»
Miguel Vítor was outstanding once again and got to wear the captain’s armband in the second half. After the final whistle of the encounter against Panionios, he spoke to media representatives in the mixed zone of Toumba Stadium.
On the encounter against Panionios:
«Only qualification counts. Nobody would congratulate us had we been eliminated. We didn’t play our best game. We were quite bad in the first half. This was a morale-boosting qualification and we will analyze our errors ahead of upcoming matches«.
On the rival he would prefer in the semis:
«I don’t want to pick one, I consider it bad luck. All three are good teams«.
On the positive aspects of his team:
«There weren’t many positive aspects in today’s game. Perhaps not conceding is one of them. But we didn’t play well«.
On his cooperation with Chatziisaias:
«He is a very good player. We combine well on the pitch. We need time though to blend further. We talk constantly in order to cooperate better«.
On rumours concerning Olympiacos:
«I know nothing at all. Just rumours conveyed to me«.
