Lucescu: “There is disappointment – Let’s get psychological with a victory against Volos”

The need for PAOK to celebrate the victory that will get it out of the difficult situation it is in after the defeats against Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, he spoke in his statements before the match with Volos Rasvan Lucescu.

The Romanian coach admitted that there is frustration in his team’s ranks, but added that his players are called upon to overcome difficulties and take the three points against the Magnesia team.

What the PAOK coach said in detail:



For PAOK’s two defeats against AEK and Olympiakos: “It’s part of the situation we’re in, there’s definitely disappointment, but we lost because we made mistakes that are unlikely to be made again so many together”.

On the psychology of his team: “Just as everything was fine during the 24 matches that were going very well, so we must now manage the disruption and disappointment we have. Practically in two days we lost these two games, but the footballers who have demands from themselves are called to overcome these situations by managing to get the victory tomorrow and give us the psychology to face the next game which is the semi-final of the Cup with Lamia”.

For the Cup final and the possibility of it being held in Cyprus: “After Thursday I will talk to you about this chapter”.

For Volos: “I expect a game that will be similar to those of Volos against Panathinaikos and AEK, they are a team with good organization on the pitch, they defend low and try to take advantage of the opponent’s mistakes on the counter attack. I expect a difficult game, but I believe we will have the right reaction after the results we had with AEK and Olympiacos, I expect us to bring back the aggression we had in previous games, it will be a difficult game but I believe we will react”.
