The “Blue and White” couldn’t beat England again, thay were beaten 3-0 in OAKA and they go to Helsinki to pay their debt against Finland, while they wait for a “miracle” from Ireland. Konstantinos Koulierakis spoke after the game with the “three lions” and focused on the mistakes that the national team paid for, and sent a message looking to continue.
In detail what Koulierakis said:
“The truth is that we didn’t start the game well,we were a bit lost on the pitch,after 25-30 we equalized a bit. In the second half again it was equal but we paid for our mistakes.
England’s goal came too early, unfortunately we didn’t start well, we’ll see, analyze and improve. Certainly if we had scored in the stages we had it would have been a different game. We continue and improve.
We are going for the win against Finland, we are putting this game behind us, we will look at the mistakes we made and correct them to be better in the next games.”.//L.
