Otto Rehhagel Quotations

We started playing with three strikers. The result came as a surprise to everyone.

In that match we played well but we were also a bit lucky.

I have been observing Samaras for quite a while and now was the appropriate time to select him.

I can see that my players are eager to win this time, and win we must in order for us to retain substantial hope for qualification,

The players are motivated to the tips of their hairs and they will come out with a lot of passion because they know this opportunity does not come round very often.

Even when they are asleep and I tell them the names Henry and so on they immediately have a picture in their heads of the way they play and we did not have that with the Russians because we knew less about them.

Only after we allowed a goal in did our team wake up.

It's true that we have not won for some time now, and we seem to have some difficulty with scoring. And that includes the Confederations Cup too, where we tried a few things.

We are not going to Portugal as tourists, we will not be the character actors,

This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of my career. Hats off to the team. I hope that all Greeks will be flying the Greek flag tonight, rejoice and savor this grandiose win.
