Jovanovic: “Difficult draw but also a great challenge for Panathinaikos”

THE Panathinaikos will face Villarreal, Rennes and Maccabi Haifa in the Europa League groups, with Ivan Jovanovich to comment after the draw that on the one hand it is difficult, but on the other hand it is a challenge for his team.

What he said in detail:

“We know we are in the last group. It’s a tough draw when you have two teams like Rennes third-fourth in France, Villarreal in Spain, Maccabi are perennial champions in Israel. It’s a tough but interesting draw. And in the qualifiers, the draws were of such a level. Difficult but very interesting and a great test.

We have to look at the group as a whole. Our goal is as a team, because we have to set goals, to go to the next phase of the Europa League. Our course in the summer showed. The path of the non-champions is always more difficult and we have shown that we can respond. The level of the teams is very high and a bet for us.”
