After the defeat (1-0) by Aris, the left-back and PAOK captain Dimitris Giannoulis said: “I have doubts about the penalty phase, even so many times I have seen it afterwards, I do not understand why the referee” I was so sure. But this is football, he gave it. “

For the PAOK FC announcement:

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen it. The penalty phase that judged the game is very questionable. The goal came in without pressure, we couldn’t score and we lost fatally.”

Due to the fact that PAOK did not find an answer even though they had the opportunity to regroup at halftime:

“We lost our temper, we got into the process of playing the game that Aris wanted, that is, that of annoyance, with many fouls. Somehow we did not create many opportunities, but we did not deserve the defeat, for sure we deserved at least the tie”. .

What your team focused on during the halftime break:

“We said we had to calm down, of course not. We had lost control of the game and that’s why we didn’t threaten the opponent as much as we should. We created some phases at the end but we couldn’t score.”

On whether it affected PAOK that the match arrived a few days after the European match against Granada:

“It certainly affects when the next game comes so soon, especially after such a tough game, but that is no excuse for our appearance today. We appeared below expectations and I hope that does not happen again.”

Due to the fact that this was the first derby of the new coaching staff:

“The coach has been here for a few weeks, we are working to change the style we had with the previous one. I think we are on the right track, except in today’s game, in which nothing has come out on the field.”

Due to the fact that key PAOK players, like himself, did not perform as expected:

“Generally as a team we don’t get anywhere near the data we’re used to, that’s why we lost. We didn’t perform well, this will happen at some point but it certainly shouldn’t have happened today.”

Due to the fact that the final decisions of the PAOK players are not correct:

“This is due to a lack of mental clarity. The derby, I think, had already affected us before it started. We did not score in our good phases in the first half. In the second we did not create enough. We have to improve in this part. . There are still many derbies, “The championship is very far. It’s not that we didn’t have the proper preparation for today’s game, we faced something we expected, but I don’t know why we didn’t respond. “

On whether he has, comrades, complaints from the Aris players, who “insistently asked for a foul”:

“Okay, I think those who saw the game understood that Aris was blackmailing our own red card. We knew what would happen. Aris is doing everything he can to get the PAOK result and that happened today too. We didn’t handle the game psychologically well. When we play without clearly thinking about football, which is our element, it has a bad time and loses like today.

I think we did it all today, but it wasn’t our game. We cannot do well what we know on the field, move, generate opportunities, take advantage of our forwards. They were closed and we couldn’t create.

The sequel is very long, we have a lot of time, nothing has been judged. “We have to learn from this defeat and face any situation, whether at home or away.”
