“I am satisfied with the result and the game we played, we played football with discipline and confidence, the players kept to what was agreed before the game. We had four or five great opportunities, while we closed well at the back, our opponent was unable to get into bigger situations. Of course, I saw mistakes, we have to correct them in the period ahead, but we continue to move forward step by step. We defeated a strong Greek national team, I am sure that the players will benefit from another sense of success” – quoted by mlsz.hu Zoltán Gera evaluation of a federal coach.
