Kyriakos for Loucescu: “He wants to draw attention to himself to relieve the team”

In the statements made from time to time by Razvan Lucescu which can be considered to contribute to the issue of toxicity between groups in Athens and Thessaloniki, was mentioned Kyriakos Kyriakos.

The advisor of PAE PAOK in a question he received in an interview he granted to City of Primo in Thessaloniki was asked to comment on the fact that many blame the PAOK coach for these statements.

In his reply he pointed out that one of the possible eventualities is to be one pursuit of the Romanian technician for the draws the eyes on him and to relieve the team from the pressure.

In detail, what Kyriakos Kyriakos said about the issue of toxicity in the championship…

Is it true that the more competitive the league, the more toxic it becomes?



“That’s true, that’s why I said before that it’s good for actors to talk less. I will not play Robin Hood and the good boy. It is a strategy for us to keep a low profile. The calmer the team, the better the results. As long as there is irritation, it shows in the results.

Without wanting to go into too many details, because there is no need, our strategy this year is that of 2019. We say what we think is necessary. We hear that only Lucescu is talking. It’s not like that. First of all Lucescu does not belong to another company. He represents PAOK. He is the most important member of PAOK’s daily life. The protagonists of the field are the ones who can also speak. It doesn’t matter, that’s the way it is.”

But for Lucescu they say that he talks and that he contributes to the toxicity



“That’s a good question for Lucescu himself. Of course, the most likely is that he will answer you with a wave of the hand about how much he is interested and the second is that it is about pursuing him. He wants to draw attention to himself to relieve the team.”



Yes, but we cannot say that PAOK does not contribute to toxicity



“Here we have to make a definition of toxicity. Because complaining about something that has happened is not toxic. Toxicity is complaining for a whole week and creating a climate for something that hasn’t happened and ultimately may not happen at all. Alas, we too have spoken out, we have protested, we have also said one more thing. But by talking more we will give them more stimuli. I realize that people often feel the need to talk. However, we speak where we want. You can’t communicate everything during a season. I told you that the main strategic objective is for the team to devote itself to its football. The sooner he manages to overcome all the difficulties and deliver the football he wants, the sooner we will all be happy. Some from the stands, others from PAOK”.
