He faced her with satisfaction but also with composure victory of Panathinaikos over Aris The Ivan Jovanovich disagreeing with those who rushed to talk about a competitive crisis after the 0-0 draw with Volos.
“I think we won fairly because it was a game where we knew we weren’t going to get many chances. The first half was mediocre with both teams trying not to give space to the opponent. In the second half everything was decided where we raised the lines, we put pressure on Aris who were not threatening and combined with controlling the pace but also creating conditions, we won it. It was not an easy victory but I believe it was completely fair“, said the coach of the “clover” at the press conference.
Regarding the criticism that his team received after the draw with Volos and also about the crisis, the Serbian coach said:You also help a little with this. A bad result brings grumbling, other things a good. Three days ago we had a disappointing result for our goals. All teams are fighting for the championship. I don’t think teams go through crises because of a result. The games are hugely important because there are only seven left. Logically the pressure is increasing but we are here because we have a stability as a team for quite a long period of the year. There are times and days when you won’t get a result and others you will. The championship is ambiguous, with great interest and I think the word crisis does not suit every team that participates in the play-offs».
Finally, regarding the derby between Olympiakos and PAOK, which was taking place at the same time, he said:We do not live off the results of others and we will not. We will rely on ourselves and our results and where it takes us».
