Lucas Taylor was without a doubt one of the PAOK footballers who stood out in the victory over Panathinaikos on the Avenue, for the 9th game of the Super League.
The Brazilian back-half talked about his own appearance, the importance of victory of the “Northern Biceps” and in the difference that the team has in Toumba and away from it.
Details of what Taylor said in the newspaper “Live Sport”
“We really needed this victory to regain our confidence after the result against Copenhagen. We lost on Thursday but we played well, but we came to this derby and we had another good performance. We had to come back because we were hurt by the defeat in Europe. We played a very good game and showed that we can beat anyone in Greece and in the Conference League. “It was really a big win,” said Lucas Taylor.
Regarding the difficulties faced by PAOK on the Avenue: “To play in such an atmosphere, in such an environment and for us to play away from home as if we were playing inside, that is, controlling the rhythm, creating opportunities at the same time, I think was important element that we had inside the field “.
Regarding the differences in the image and the results of the team at home and away: “The truth is that in Toumba we have faced teams that come to play behind the ball and are tighter defensively. It is more difficult for us to break down these defenses. “When we play away from home, the hosts want to play football, they leave more space open and we know them to take advantage of them and play our football.”
On how important the derby was for the team’s confidence, an element that the coach constantly stands for: “Confidence was the most important element we had in this game. We managed to play our football, to control the rhythm. “Such victories are the ones that increase our self-confidence and give us the opportunity to repeat such appearances and achieve our goals.”
For his personal performance against Panathinaikos. “Yes, I think I did my best this year, just as the team did its best this season.”
