The coach of the Greece national team Otto Rehagel, believes that his team exit to the semifinals of the European Championship in Portugal - will remain in memory the best episode related to football work. Recall that his team entered the semifinals, winning the French team along the way.
“Nothing is better than a victory over France, who has already been a European champion,” Rehagel said in an interview with German television. “This is great when you are understood implicitly and players laid out on the field without a trace,” Rehagel added, speaking of his team’s chances to reach the final of the championship.
At the same time, King Otto has no desire to work with the national team, putting an end to all rumors about the replacement of the coach Rudy Feller. “I will not break the contract until I bring Greece to my home, that is, to the final part of the World Cup. It looks impossible, but I stay with the Greeks,” the coach noted.
The German Rehagel was fired from Bavaria in 1996, and then in 2000 lost his work, training Kaizerslautern. However, Otto found his reassurance in the Greek team. “We play great. We constantly progress coming to a single style of the game. I think that after the championship the national team will pay attention to Greece, where the fans more and more prefer clubs, and not the main team of the country,” Rehagel noted.
"From the very beginning, I wanted to lead, the individuals gathered here to a single game style and introduce them to my concept of football vision. The result showed the team two days ago is the result of a three -year -old round. As a result, the players became children and danced from the heart. And when we watched on television that they were going on in Greece, then thought that the football revolution would begin there," said, " Rehagel.
At the same time, King Otto shared with the players not only the football side of the issue. “I often talked with the football players heart to heart, and told them many stories from my life. Someone tried on them, someone is not. However, the main thing is that we found mutual understanding, and the result of this understanding spilled on this euro and during a meeting with the French,” Rehagel believes.
