L\u00e9o Matos<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

\u201cWe knew it wasn\u2019t our best game, but the first-leg result allowed us to stay in control. That is how we got to the final<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t easy to turn the switch off and block out everything that happened on Sunday. It was a huge night for us. However we need to focus, play the final and win the Greek Cup<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We have put a considerable effort to reach this point. We want to keep on trying. We won\u2019t stop after two Greek Cups and a league title. We aim to win more titles in upcoming years<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fernando Varela<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

\u201cThe play with Tsilianidis was similar to the one of Biseswar broke into a counterattack. He put his foot to foul. He is a good referee and made correct decisions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re all here to make history. We won the league title and we want to win the Greek Cup as well. We want to continue writing our name in PAOK history books. It\u2019s important for us to remain in everyone\u2019s memory, to be remembered after 100 years. It\u2019s important for us and we will give everything to achieve our goal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We were expecting Asteras to play high up and pressure us. It wasn\u2019t our finest game, I admit it. We had a huge party on Sunday \u2013you can hear my hoarse voice\u2026 Our performance left much to be desired today, but we wanted to qualify regardless of our display or result<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my 6th or 7th match on this pitch and we have won only twice. Asteras are a good, tough team. We knew we were in for a difficult encounter, but we were prepared to do our duty. We played to win, but we knew that we could clinch qualification even without winning. Qualifying for the final was our priority<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Fernando Varela and L\u00e9o Matos said after the goalless draw in Tripolis against Asteras for the Greek Cup semi-finals.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":516181,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[1485,1557,1563,2388,3886,4508,4719,4804,5134,5135,8044,8045,8316,8347],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAsteras Tripolis \u2013 PAOK: Mixed zone -
