Read what Omonia coach Henning Berg said after the heavy defeat of his team by Karabakh in the GSP with 4-1.
For what went wrong: “I think we had a very good first half, we played as we wanted in such a game, against a quality team with quality players and we competed, we were good offensively and defensively, we scored and took the lead, in the first half we were as we wanted, top. In the second, it is difficult to keep such teams away all the time, they are quality. We were a bit unlucky in the goals we conceded, we could have avoided them, it was not a 4-1 game. The last two goals were unnecessary. We could have won, it could have been a draw.
We saw the quality of the opponent, they are a good team, we see the level of the organization. After the 2-1 it became difficult and after the 3-1 it was impossible to return. I think we did not need to score the last two goals. Other than that it was a pretty good effort against a good team. We learned a lot today. That is why we are in the organization, to grow and become better “.
On whether the goals change after the defeat: “It will be more difficult now to qualify. We knew from the beginning that it is difficult, we are the fourth team in the ranking. Karabakh has been playing in the clubs for many years, we, for the second year, would not be the favorite. But we have these games to improve. For a long time today, I think we did very well. “
On whether he is worried about Basirou's injury that reduces the options in the center: “We have players to join the team. Sehou did well today, Panagiotou was good in the championship. Gomez will be punished. “We definitely want to have our players but there are players to play.”
Regarding Papoulis ' change: “No, he was not injured. It went well, it was top, I'm happy. We have a game on Sunday. He did not play that much, he had an injury, I did not expect him to play 90 minutes today. I am satisfied with his appearance “
