Despodov: “Of course we can win the championship”
Kirill Despodov spoke to NOVA about Asteras immediately after the win over PAOK and expressed his joy at scoring two goals while emphasizing that Dikephalos can win the championship.
PAOK overtook Tripoli and beat Asteras 1-4, with Kirill Despodov scoring two goals. In his statements immediately after the game, the Bulgarian midfielder mentioned, among other things, that Dikefalos can win the championship if he continues like this.
In detail, what Kirill Despodov said to NOVA: About scoring two goals and PAOK’s resounding win: “I scored a lot of goals at Ludogorets, but now I’m at PAOK and I’m focused. I didn’t show all my quality, I’m getting better every day.
I’m starting to understand the coach’s philosophy, it’s different from Ludogorets’. I’m happy with the three points, it was a difficult game, they’re a good team, Asteras plays hard. I’m also happy to score my first goals in the league“.
Because PAOK has many protagonists this year and not just one: “Football doesn’t consist of a single player. A player cannot win a game. If we are not united, we cannot achieve anything. Today we scored four goals, but that is the result of the work of the entire team. This is a united team. Only if we continue like this, and we will continue like this because I know the team, can we improve and achieve great things“.
Regarding the fact that PAOK is in the region and can stay there: “Of course we can“.
For PAOK’s secret to being able to stay there: “I could repeat things. It’s a long season, we have to stick together and develop further in order to achieve our goal“.
