Coach Santos Has World Cup Hopes

  • Written by 

Greek soccer coach Fernando Santos claimed that while his team lost to Columbia at the World Cup Saturday, he still has hopes for the FIFA competition.

Santos commented to reporters: "We should not make a drama out of it...We must analyse what was less positive and what was positive, balance things, and organise our ideas", as reported by Kathimerini.

The soccer coach added, "At the end of this type of match we have to congratulate our opponents because they were more efficient...The first five, ten minutes we had some difficulties with our concentration, we were not focused enough. There were no surprises because we knew, I had told my players, what team we would play against. It was not different for their usual strategy".

Santos described, "We could have scored a goal and we can say the result is exaggerated compared to how the teams performed on the pitch. We had our chances, we controlled the game for long periods of time." Greece is set to compete against Japan on Thursday, June 19th, and then will have a final group game against the Ivory Coast in Brazil.
