On Sunday’s encounter:

«First of all, let me tell you that I love such victories. It was a very tough encounter, against a well-prepared opponent, organized, dangerous and with the right aggressive behaviour on the attacking front. We managed to score. It was a huge fight. In the second half, we didn’t threaten much, despite being in control«.

About Akpom’s goal that was disallowed:

«I reacted strongly there. It wasn’t just a few centimetres… The referees got it wrong by at least five metres! It’s proof that someone came here with a specific aim. That is no simple error«.

Regarding Karelis:

«I am very glad for this signing. Karelis isn’t a clear-cut central forward, he can feature in other positions as well. I had watched him when he played for Panaathinaikos and I am truly happy«.

Whether PAOK will move to sign a free agent:

«Sign who? All these players wouldn’t be ready to play before October or November…»

On the reaction by Panionios’s fans:

«I didn’t make any gesture, I just celebrated our victory. I am sorry if they misunderstood my reaction«.
