Vierinia: “As a manager you have to set an example, I wanted to help the team”

Andelino Vierinia told COSMOTE TV immediately after the end of the match against Gent in which PAOK achieved a historic qualification for the quarter-finals of the Conference League that he should make his mark as captain despite the injury suffered.

At the same time, the Portuguese leader of Dikefalos stressed that the whole team’s performance was heroic, but in the second half they improved in the second half and clinched the win.

Details of what Andelino Vierinia said: How he ended the match: “I did 6 stitches. The performance of the entire team in both games is heroic. We made history again. We also helped Greece with the points. But now let’s think about Sunday’s game“.

About whether he spoke to his wife after the hit on the head: “We talked after the game because he’s always worried. He’s already watching me, he should watch me a little more now (laughs)“.

As for the game: “We knew it was going to be a difficult game, that they were going to push us, that they were going to play with long balls on our backs. In the second part we improved. Sindkley’s entrance helped me too, we closed the right flank where Gent’s attacks took place in the first part.“.

Because he did not leave the match despite his injury: “As a leader, you must lead by example. Even though I was dizzy, I wanted to help the team“.
