Lucescu: “Good period for us the break – Let’s start from the beginning with concentration with Aris”

In the interruption of the championship that helped and in the elements that must have the PAOK to be the winner in the derby with Aris spoke o Razvan Lucescu.

The Romanian coach made statements ahead of the match in Toumba (20:30) stressing that the players who arrived in the final days of the transfer window need time to adapt, adding that their quality was lacking in previous years.

Regarding the big match against the “yellows”, he emphasized that he expects to see his team entering the game focused and doing the things they know, so that in the end everyone is happy in the “black and white” organization.

Razvan Lucescu’s statements in detail:

On how the break went:

“I think it was a good period for us, it was a period that we needed because players came at the end of the transfer window, as well as for footballers who needed time like Meite, Samata and Ozdoev. It was a time that helped us».

For the assimilation of transferable acquisitions:

“The style of the team will not change, everyone’s characteristics are different and they can give us different information. Always when new footballers arrive there is a period when things are a little more complicated, more difficult. It’s about how the players will absorb the whole and how they’ll put themselves into it and how we want to get our game ideas across. This is a piece that is a bit tough and difficult.

The players that have come in have quality and that’s something that maybe we’ve lacked in the past, they’re players with experience, the teams that were playing needed the personality to be able to cope and be in them. So it’s something that helps us. They come from leagues where to compete you must have all these elements. It will be a tough part for us, because all the players will have to assimilate and at the same time get the results we need».

For the Mars game:

“What can I tell you, we have a lot of games ahead of us, this is the first one after the break. We come from qualifying for the group stage and this is the first match with which we start a second part of the season until the next break. Everyone knows the importance of the game, mainly for psychological reasons, this automatically makes everyone hot. I expect us to enter from the beginning with concentration, to show what we should and at the end we will all be happy».
