The national pole will give it all against the strong Italy, in a quarter -finals where the winner will be judged in the details.
In detail what Thodoris Vlachos said on ERT’s camera:
“In my previous statements I was disrespectful because I didn’t talk about the fight with Brazil. I only talked about Italy and a coach should not do that. But I had complete confidence in my players and I was sure we would overcome this obstacle. We started seriously, with very good defense and kept zero. The capacity difference was to the end. We just got what we wanted. We have already begun the preparation for our next opponent, Italy, we will continue to work and see what happens. “
To a question that will be judged by the quarter -finals, he said: “Usually we coaches say that games are judged in defense, but the attack needs to fire. To have our athletes on a good day, to score through our plan, through what we have designed. It also needs personality and talent. We know them and they know us, we don’t have to surprise something. Let’s give our whole souls and win the best.
In a tournament you can start well and finish badly or vice versa. Some players were not even half preparation with us. It is next not to be in the best possible condition. But we will not hide behind excuses. We face our team as if we are the best, as if we are in the best of condition and so we will do our self -criticism. There are no excuses. We must all come forward, each with what we have to give and try to get a great qualification. Italy will be a difficult opponent, but we are also a difficult opponent. “
