Athanasiadis could not hide his intense disappointment by the team’s showing:

«I feel ashamed to be here. All PAOK players should be ashamed”, was the initiatl reaction of PAOK’s skipper who was emotionally charged as he addressed the media on Wednesday: «Our team is sick, there is a virus in the dressing rooms. I hope that something will change when the new season kicks off. After the encounter against Asteras Tripolis, I will be at liberty to tell you more. If I were the president, I would kick us all out. Personally, I feel ashamed to see the team I grew up in and loved in such poor shape».
