Jovanovic: “The goals we scored and the fact that we split the time are positive”

THE Panathinaikos also defeated the second friendly on Austrian soil, after prevailing Rogaska with a score of 3-1 thanks to three very nice goals from Ioannidis, Bernard and Magnuson.

After the match, Ivan Jovanovich he focused on the fact that the “greens” could not find the pace they wanted during the match, but also on how complicated the preparation becomes due to the schedule of the national teams.

In detail what he said:

“We knew we were going to use two different lineups. We expected to have a better pace, we didn’t do what we wanted because of the opponent. The game certainly helped us, in the sense that we had to break down a good defense. We didn’t have the pace we wanted in this phase. The good thing was the goals we scored but also the fact that we gave time to both the children and the internationals who came back.

It is a problem for all teams the UEFA schedule for national team games. It will need management. We will try to manage it, both with regard to the children who were with us and those who did not rest much because they were playing with the national teams, it is an important parameter for everyone, we see the qualifiers which are important. We want to be in good playing condition.”
