“Levante fast goal was very important and we couldn’t react. It was hard then to score 5 goals. We tried, we lost many chances, but we failed”, said the 20-year old midfielder.
On whether Levante is a better team than Olympiacos: I don’t think it’s better than Olympiacos. Today, we were better and lost scoring opportunities”.
On whether the qualifying scenario was burnt out in Messovo: Certainly, the qualification got lost in the first leg, since it’s difficult to recover a 3-0 original score”.
On his presence: “I try to give the best of me to the club”.

“This swift opener took us by surprise; since we didn’t get into the match as we should and that was the cost we should pay. I don’t think Levante is a better team than is. Of course, we are knocked-out, but not a higher profile knock-out. Now, we proceed with the championship which we want to be awarded with the largest margin ever, and we are waiting for next year for a better participation in European cups. The only benefit from today has been experience, especially for all of us, the young ones».

“The truth is we leave the tournament with a bitter taste, because we failed to offer our fans a good performance and an even better result. Today, we leave the stadium disillusioned. I believe that, once more, we failed to show our skills. We haven’t been the ones we should have been and we made mistakes not allowed at such a high level. We conceded a fast goal and from that moment onwards, nothing would go right.
It’s difficult to say whether we have won something. Neither in Spain, or here, could we take advantage of the chances and learn from our mistakes. The only thing we took out was experience and the fact that we learned from our mistakes. When our display is not the proper one, then the people has ever right to express their dissatisfaction. The only thing we can say is that we are sad for failing to give them joy”.

“We conceded an early goal and we could go the extra mile in order to react. The early opener was bad and made our composure drop. Following 1-0, Levante used to have all ten men behind the ball and we failed to find ways to threaten them. Beisdes, it is very very difficult to attack when the opponent plays defense in such a way. Levante worthily qualifies since it prevailed on us both παιχνίδια.
Our objective is the Greek Championship and the Cup. It’s really difficult moment for us, but we have to leave it back since there is the Greek Championships and Cup; we must leave behind this disqualification».
