Puget: “The worst thing for my players is to qualify for the Euros and not be there.”

Gustavo Poguet gave a new interview to a foreign media, in which the national coach commented on the possibility of the Greek national team qualifying for the European Championship and not being present himself.

Gustavo Poguet's future in the Greek national team remains uncertain. With the Hellas To give in a few days Big match with Kazakhstan in the semi-finals of the European ChampionshipThe Uruguayan coach gave an interview to Sky Sports and talked about his future.

Puget stressed that the worst scenario for his players would be if the national team was able to guarantee his presence in German stadiums while he was not present.

On his future and the issue of the contract: “I have nothing to hide about my situation. My contract expires on March 31, it's a strange situation. Not for me, as a player my contract was about to expire and it was more difficult because I had to play, but I was not afraid and played every time until the last minute. It's easier as a coach, there's not the same risk, but it creates uncertainty, especially for my partners.

They want to know what will happen next month. It's not new to me, maybe I was expecting something to happen sooner, but I handled the situation in a normal way and we will decide in April.

It's strange for the players too, we had a very good relationship. When things are going well, the players feel they are in a good place, we spend time together, we win together, we celebrate and we communicate a lot, because I don't spend time with them in training on a daily basis. . There is a relationship outside of football. The worst for them was qualifying and I wasn't there for the European Championship. Some say this is unlikely, but why not? It's football!

I try to rule that out, that's what I will tell the players when we meet. We will have to focus on the matches and see what happens next.”

For Odysseus Flashodemus noted: He added: “Everyone should know that things change very quickly in football. Vlachodimos was the number 1 in one of the big clubs (Benfica), not only in Portugal, but also in European competitions. He was always a key player, winning titles and playing… Every year in the Champions League.

When you change teams, a lot can happen. Other people, other coaches, other ways of understanding football and often times the situation is difficult. But the realities in the national team are completely different. For example, I have to make decisions to play with who I know, who I trust most, and who is in the best shape.

There are different points of view, but I have my own ideas and the results will show whether this was the decision I made or not. I feel very comfortable with my decisions. “I know the players well, I know what they can give us, and I trust them when they step on the field.”
