After the final whistle of the encounter against Asteras Tripolis, Stefanos Athanasiadis spoke on behalf of his teammates. Here is what PAOK’s skipper had to say:

“I want to tell our fans that we are to blame for what happened today. It’s the toughest night of the season. I want to apologize for our performance. We all feel very bad. We couldn’t do what we planned in the locker rooms. It’s up to us to turn the situation around. We players need to come up with the solution. We don’t expect anyone to help us. We need to talk to one another and figure out how we will proceed from now on. It’s been a while that we have been performing below par. We need to become a tight-knit group again, as we were in the beginning of the season. We need to leave this match behind us, focus on the match against Kalloni and get those three points”.
