Lucescu: “Zola is very pleased with Zampa, a pleasant surprise”

PAOK coach Rasvan Lutsescu had a lot to say on NOVA’s camera, a few hours before his team’s home match against Panetolikos, in the context of the 16th game in the Superleague.

The Romanian coach spoke about the outbreak of the pandemic and the problems he has created in his team, the most difficult moments in his coaching career, the challenges he faces in view of Panaitolikos, the transfer planning of PAOK, but also Zampas, Tsolak, who now are at his disposal.

Details of what Rasvan Lucescu said:



For the period of the pandemic outbreak, the cases and how the daily life of the group was affected: “It was not an easy period. We had players who were out due to coronavirus, some then came back, some others were added to the active cases. I am happy because we had a good training period with the available players. On the other hand, I want to believe that we will soon get rid of all this situation with the outbreak of the pandemic. The positive thing we can see was that we went through it without bloodshed, without official games. It would be more difficult if the outburst found us during official racing obligations “.

On whether this period of the pandemic is the most difficult thing he had to manage in his coaching career: “Before I got to that, for me personally and my technical staff, the most difficult moment was when we won the championship on the field with PAOK and they stole it from us in a different way. This was the biggest difficulty in my career. A second was when the issue arose in Saudi Arabia with the Asian Champions League, which we had finished first in the group stage and having one game less and we were excluded from the tournament due to incidents. So this is my third most difficult period. I classify it there “.

For the problems he has to manage in view of Panetolikos and how he prepares his team: “We had a period when we had to adapt to the difficulties we had to face. We look forward to the time of the games is something we missed. “But this whole period of suspension from the games was a good point for us despite the problems we had to manage.”.

For the transfer planning of PAOK and Zampas, Tsolak: “As for the transfers, I will have to talk to Mr. Boto to find the path we will follow. As far as Zampa is concerned, I was pleasantly impressed by the way he returned. Both Zampa and Zolak returned in very good condition. They are fit, they train and work hard. I know Leo very well from my previous term, a footballer who belongs to the generation that won everything for PAOK. I have heard many stories about his injury, which was difficult. I am very satisfied with the image it has. His mood and seriousness. Cholak is also a pleasant surprise for me. A very smart striker, a player with great diligence on the field. They both give us something different at the moment and I’m very happy to have them with us. “.
