On the friendly encounter against Panserraikos:

«Our rivals were good, but it’s important for us to be ready on Thursday. We got some things out of today’s game. It’s good to play against a team who deserve to be in the top flight. Nice ground, packed stands. I hope they get promoted. I would have preferred regular Super League action and a win that would mean points to boost our self-confidence. But that is how things stand now, we can’t do anything about it«.

On Greece national team and his goal:

«Everybody is happy on the team, especially after such a goal. But nothing stays the same in football and we have to move along. But, let me assure you, if we qualify for the World Cup, this goal will be very special to me«.

On PAOK players who feature on loan for Panserraikos:

«Today we played against some guys who belong to PAOK. They did very well and we are very happy with their progress. My wish for them is to return to PAOK next season«.

On the match in Florence:

«We will face a great team. We are not favourites in this encounter, but we will go there to make the most of our chances and get the best possible result«.
