Details of what Jovanovic said in the press conference:
«First of all, congratulations to the players because we won an important opponent. A team that is very disciplined and hard to beat. We had to have a very balanced game to control the match and on the other hand not to leave much room for the counterattacks that PAS could have done. In the first half we controlled the match but we could not find places. In the second half from the beginning we had the initiatives needed in such a match to be able to open the opponent’s lines and that was the product of the goal and after the 1-0 there was no particular reaction that could worry us».
On whether the team is tying or entering a winning mentality now: «Hard to answer. It has it from all means. We had some matches at the beginning of the championship. Some were good. Lately we have changed some things to fix the match. We are at a stage where we can change our way of what we want. We are, due to our results, under constant pressure every game, which is normal for a team like Panathinaikos and we can live with it and play calmly. It is important for a team like us not to change the way we play depending on the opponent, having this pressure that a great team should have. This is the point where I have to congratulate the players. I know that when we win we are all happy but surely everyone makes a great effort to be optimistic about the future».
Whether the pressure from the first minute was the key to the match: «In all matches we try to do the same. Sometimes it seems easier. Generally because we are a team that wants to be in control and we try to win the ball as fast as possible. But we are not alone on the field. Nothing different happened from the other matches. When we play inside we want to be active on the field to have the support of the people and this was evident at the beginning of the second half. We had an immediate response from the audience and that helped us in the end».
