The starting lineups for Krasava ENY-Karmiotissa
After the match, Fernández Romo expressed his satisfaction with the first victory, highlighting his team’s superiority and the effort of his players, while Alexis Garpozis, on the other hand, focused on the missed opportunities and the lack of confidence, stressing that the team is not living up to its potential and needs to start earning points.
Here are the statements in detail:
Krasava ENY (Fernández Romo): “I’m very happy because the situation called for this victory. I believe that based on what we saw on the field, we were the better team; we showed greater quality in creating clear-cut chances and could have won the game.
It’s true that winning is very difficult, in any league and in any country.
In the final minutes, we all had to defend together, and we managed to hold onto our lead thanks to our solid defensive effort.
I’m very proud of my players, of their effort and dedication. I’m also very happy and proud of all the members of the coaching staff and the club.”
Karmiotissa (Alexis Garpozis): “My team was very aggressive in the first half; we created many scoring opportunities, but we have an issue with the final touch—whether it’s the final pass or the shot—and in the end, we’re letting ourselves down.
We’ll keep trying; the players gave it their all again today. We’ll rest up, and starting Monday we’ll focus on the next game—it’s a marathon, there are many games ahead, but we have to pick up points somewhere.
We could have taken the lead much earlier; we had two chances before Psyha’s goal and two more after we went up 1-0. We wanted to push for the 2-0, capitalize on the momentum, and “kill” the game. It was tougher in the second half; Krasava defended with 11 players outside the box. It’s a matter of confidence—the team has both quality and grit.”
