After a pause related to the matches of the national teams, the group of injured players returned to the squad of FC Astana, which beat FC Ordabasy with a score of 2:1 within the 8th round.
One out of this group was Pieros Sotiriou. The Cypriot entered the first eleven and played the entire match. In an interview after the match Pieros spoke about the match itself and rumors about the transfer to the Greek PAOK:
- I think we played very well today, especially the first 60 minutes. It might have been our best 60 minutes of the season. We played dominant football and I would like us to get back on the winning path to reach the top of the standings.
- The media are circulating information about your possible transfer to the Greek PAOK. To what extent is this information justified?
- When I was a player of APOEL, PAOK made an official offer, but my club at that time rejected it. That was four years ago. In this transfer window, there was nothing official. Now all my thoughts are connected with FC Astana in order to achieve the set goals together with the team.
