On the match and the key points:

«This win was important. Luck was also the factor. It’s a good victory for PAOK, for Thessaloniki, for whole Greece. In the locker rooms, we were asked to be focused. If one fails to focus in matches like this, they can hardly get something out of the match. We all played above our potential«.

On the fact that the coach spoke about the Livadia match after such a victory:

«In previous seasons we had this problem after big victories. We hope to change the trend on Monday and be able to enjoy the victory we got today«.

On the important of victory:

«It;s good for everyone. There were some younger guys in the line-up, like Mystakidis and Cimirot who recovered from injury. Even we feel this boost of morale. We become more tightly knit, we are getting stronger«.

On Glykos’ injury and whether they got worried:

«We were worried several times, as we were under pressure. It’s too bad that Glykos will be sidelined«.

On PAOK collecting four points from their games against Borussia Dortmund but getting eliminated:

«That’s football. Today we were lucky. We could have gotten more points from our games against Krasnodar and Qabala. Had we won these two sides and were we still in contention, we would have enjoyed more today’s result«.
On the upcoming matches:

«We need to remain calm and keep our feet on the ground. One victory doesn’t change everything. Mind you, I say the same after defeats as well«.

On Berbatov’s quotes about the excellent job of the defence that managed to keep a clean sheet:

«It’s very important. Victory over Dortmund can’t be achieved without solid defending. But the whole team contributes in defence, not just those at the back. Major focus is needed. Dortmund players are able to strike in a second if given half an inch«.
