Greece Coach Attributes Victory to Baldock’s Memory
Greece manager Ivan Jovanovic has suggested that his team’s victory over England in the UEFA Nations League was inspired by the memory of former defender George Baldock.
Baldock, who recently passed away at the age of 31, had joined Panathinaikos from England in the summer transfer window. His tragic death occurred just a day before Greece’s match against England.
Jovanovic stated that Baldock’s presence and influence could be felt in the team’s performance. The players were motivated to honor his memory and play with passion and determination.
The victory over England was a significant achievement for Greece, and Jovanovic attributed it in part to the emotional impact of Baldock’s passing.
