Efthymis Koulouris<\/strong> fought a lot and wasted the opportunity to score for a second consecutive game. The young forward spoke in the mixed zone about his condition and how happy he is for his captain:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have waited for my opportunity for a long time. The coach is supporting me and my self-confidence is increasing through my participation. I am in top shape, I hope to help more\u201d<\/em>, was his initial statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy for our captain, Stelios Malezas. We expected an easier game, but it wasn\u2019t. We hold on to these three points and we look ahead<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dimitris Pelkas<\/strong> focused on the three points won and on the importance of this victory. He also remembered that Malezas still had his hair the last time he scored:<\/p>\n

There are no easy games. We saw that, AEK saw it as well, as they failed to win today. We hold on to these three points, it was a very important victory for us and we did it. We were not out of focus at the start of the game, but knew beforehand that Platanias would defend in numbers. They wouldn\u2019t play as Xanthi or Panathinaikos would. We had to come up with another way of doing damage to them. We had some good patches in the game and finally won the three points<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I remember very well Malezas\u2019s goal against Iraklis, he had hair back then. He must have scored one more<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Stelios Malezas<\/strong>, who ended up deciding the game, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to win. Those who criticized us were right, because we weren\u2019t winning. We saw what we were doing wrong, corrected our mistakes and won a second consecutive away game in the league<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As the season was unfolding, we were crushed by the pressure of not winning away. It was imperative to prevail over ourselves. We wanted a \u2018professional\u2019 victory, to believe in ourselves again. We were good in other games, but failed to win<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That happens only in Greece. Everyone saw that we have good players and they wanted us to start winning everything from day one. The team needs time to find chemistry, not only the players between them but also with the coach. Those outside the team think that it\u2019s easy to win, but that is not the case. Even huge clubs abroad have chemistry problems in the beginning of the season<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I was lucky to be part of an awesome team during Santos\u2019s spell. Santos needed one year to turn us into a team. This season, I am also in a very good side under a very good coach. It\u2019s no point to look towards May, but look ahead to our next game, either it\u2019s for the league or the Greek Cup. We are ready for the remainder of the season<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am very lucky to be in the starting line-up during a fine spell of the team. It\u2019s not just about about being a good player \u2013 the attitude of the whole team is important. The team helped me, not the inverse. My team-mates and our discipline have led to the team\u2019s latest improvement and that makes me look good<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When a team fights to win all matches, regardless of opponent, then they can claim being a league contender. This is the way to boost their confidence for the remainder of the season. It\u2019s not important if it\u2019s a high-profile game or encounters against lowly sides<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hopefully we can achieve a distance in the standings, but that is not likely. I want a competitive league and just speak about football, but for years now we have been dealing with everything except football. However, I believe that the league will unfold like this and many teams will be close to the top fighting for the league<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Malezas, Koulouris and Pelkas said after PAOK prevailed over Platanias for matchday 15 of the Super League Souroti:","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":420612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[1485,1563,1587,2316,2350,2386,2388,2475,2519,4719,5253,5860,5882,7036,7763],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPlatanias \u2013 PAOK: Mixed zone -
