Jovanovic: “Such games give a psychological boost to those returning from injuries”

THE Panathinaikos prevailed 4-0 Wiener Victoria in his first friendly but in which the gains were different… The return of Aitor and Zeka but also the presence of Yeremegev who found the net.

This is exactly what he referred to Ivan Jovanovichwho commented after the match that such a game is not a sample because of the difference in capacity, but it is important for players like Zeka and Aitor, who are returning from serious injuries.

In detail what he said:

For the performance of Panathinaikos: “After ten days of training and travel, with several new players in the team, we asked for a friendly with a much weaker opponent and a limited time to be able to give everyone a chance to play and also waiting for those who will come in the next few days. Nothing to comment as there was a capacity difference, we wanted to be at least serious about the game because we come from a journey, we wanted seriousness as if it was training. In terms of the game, it’s nothing special, but it’s always good to have these kinds of games at the beginning of the pre-season.”

For Zeka and Aitor: “For players coming back from injury, it’s difficult for them too and we tried not to feel any risk. They are not yet in a situation where we can count on them even more, but games like this give them a psychological boost to continue because we need them, but they also need our support to return to the situation they were in before their injury.”
