Kasnaferis: “To rebuild PAOK with Lutsescu”

The view that PAOK should be rebuilt from the beginning with him Razvan Lucescu to decide on everything expressed George Kasnaferis in an interview he gave.

The general manager of Ionikos and a close friend of the Romanian technician areferred to the problems that exist in the Biceps of the North, pointing out that now many players have completed their cycle.

«The team must be rebuilt with Razvan in the long run. Many players have closed their circle in PAOK and two years ago they found the flame to win the double, but then came a belly. And as the years go by, I do not know if it is easy to find the flame, to be able to follow the demanding rhythms “, argued the old referee.

Details of what George Kasnaferis said to Metrosport.

For the course of Ionikos and the victory over PAOK:

“It was a victory against an opponent, who is one of the top teams in Greece with huge successes, it was a key point for us.

If you look at things coldly and realistically, the image of Ionikos this year, if you exclude a bad parenthesis in the match against Panathinaikos, in all the games the team was competitive. It was a convincing performance, in a nice atmosphere, with the fans starting to embrace the team more. It was a sweet night.

Ionikos has achieved a lot in a short period of time. In the summer the team returned to the salons after 14 years. With the huge contribution of the Tsirigotis family who have invested time and money to make a stadium a jewel and provide us with everything. We are wronged by the score, the team should have three or four points more. Ionikos is a company, it is not a purely professional team “.

For Razvan Lucescu:

“Razvan and I are more than friends, we have brotherly relations. 99.9% of my heart yesterday was happy and the rest was sad about Razvan’s difficult situation. He is a man who deserves much more and in the summer he made a difficult decision, to return to Greece and have to compete with himself. “King” left.

He got into a very difficult situation in the summer for himself and his career. The last 20 days have come up and down, but I am sure of him and he knows that he will manage to find the path of success for both himself and his team.

A piece of both failure and success is for the coach. It can not be out of frame. Since I am not in PAOK I can not say that it is out of the problem or it is the whole problem. He is responsible for something that has gone wrong. ”

For Kanias:



“When we acquired him in the summer, we believed and still believe that a player, with his CV and his qualifications, can become a basic unit at Ionikos. He came late, he had a few problems until he adjusted, he is starting to find his footing “.

On whether Lutsescu can react:



“Razvan is a fighter and a winner, in all the teams he has gone to he has learned to fight, like when he came to Xanthi. That we were then a small and medium group and to learn a lot, to reach a final, to bring people from Romania, to make videos and things innovative. Rest assured that Razvan will fight for the best until the last moment he is at PAOK and I think he has a way of finding the button to turn it.

The summer we were talking, he told me that one of the main reasons he came back was the group of footballers he had two years ago. He believes in his players and sacrifices for them. One reason he left then was that Kanias did not stay. He is one with his footballers. He is the “general” and they are his “soldiers”.

If Lucescu was to leave, he would have left yesterday. The team has a key game on Thursday, the “general” can not leave two days before “.

For PAOK:



“The team must be rebuilt with Razvan in the long run. Many players have closed their circle in PAOK and two years ago they found the flame to win the double, but then came a belly. And as the years go by, I do not know if it is easy to find the flame, to be able to follow the demanding rhythms. “This thing can not work like two years ago.”
