Narey: ‘Just for the win in Croatia – I was out for 3.5 months and it was hard to deal with’

In his mind Calend Narey ahead of his first match PAOK with the Hajduk Split there is not just the good result that will give an advantage in view of the rematch, but only the victory and the qualifying step!

The Dutch midfielder represented the players of the “black and white” at the press conference and referred to the “hot” atmosphere that – usually – faces PAOK in the sixth home games, while for his injury he emphasized that he was out for 3.5 months, it was difficult to manage it, but this year he is on the right track and wants to find -again- him his old self.

Caled Narey’s statements at the press conference:

On how he feels after his health adventure and the games he played against Beitar: “I feel very good after a difficult time. I’m very happy to be back with the boys on the pitch, I’m slowly getting back to my good form like last year. I was out for 3.5 months and it was hard to manage. I started this year though and I’m on the right track, I want to find my old self and I want to help the team as much as I can».

For the second consecutive away match for PAOK in a hot home: “We are used to playing in such a situation. We have played many such games. We know that we will find a hot atmosphere ahead of us, just like in Israel and in Croatia. I expect a strong game. In general, when PAOK plays away from home, it faces such an atmosphere. We will face a strong team in a good venue and we expect a great match».

On what will be the keys to the game in Split: “I think we analyzed the opposition and they are a real good team. He is in good shape but we are also in good shape. We went to the next stage with an important victory and we have a good mentality. It will be a very difficult game and we will give everything to qualify. Hajduk are in good form and they are confident, we will go to Croatia for the win, not just for a good result. Let’s go play there and give everything for the win».
