Metaxas: “Given the war in Ukraine, deducting five points is definitely not the worst thing”
Iraklis Metaxas told NOVA immediately after the game against Lamia that deducting five points was a tribute to PAS Giannina, however, he said that given the war in Ukraine, deducting points is definitely not a worse thing.
Iraklis Metaxas, in his statements immediately after PAS Giannina’s win over Lamia, could not help but be in the penalty for deducting five points from Ioannina’s team. The 54-year-old coach did not hide his sadness at the point deduction, but stressed that the war in Ukraine was certainly not the worst that could happen.
In detail what Metaxas said to NOVA: For the match and subtraction of the five points: “Subtracting the five points is like running a marathon, and as you get close to the finish you get put on a tripod and you fall.
On the other hand, given the war in Ukraine, deducting five points is certainly not the worst thing. Of course it’s important that we played good football again today and got three points“.
Whether PAS will overtake the playoffs: “We always play to win and in the end we’ll see where we’ve come from. Today we also had returns from some players who couldn’t stand to the end due to the few training sessions they had done“.
