Tsorbatzoglou: “PAOK-Soreveti missed an opportunity due to Louchesko’s reaction”

In his lost opportunity PAOK to get closer to his competitors but also the delay in the adaptation of the new players focused on Dimitris Tsorbatzoglou speaking to News Bulletin 247 in its wake 2-2 with Panathinaikos at Leoforos.

“When you’re about to take that six-point game and you concede the goal in the last second, you can’t be satisfied. PAOK’s performance in the first half was poor, despite Lucescu betting on the most tested eleven. He couldn’t keep the ball and Panathinaikos found a lot of space. However, he made it 1-1 at half-time with his one chance, but at the start of the second half he was much better and created several chances to take the lead. Necessarily, the changes were made later, but they did not work out for him. He couldn’t threaten, because Meite hasn’t figured out where he is and Samata is playing for his side, while Despodov has yet to get into the chemistry of the team and allowed a lot of ups from his side. The problem of the integration of young people begins and shouts“, he initially reported.

As for his strong reactions and statements Razvan Lucescu about arbitration, he said: “I’m not excusing Lucescu, but I understand the reaction. We are not talking about slaughter or alteration, but it is some decisions like the yellow cards that were not given and sent the message to the opponent that they can continue to play like this. PAOK received the cards for protesting in phases that were fouled for cards. This difference in treatment is added to what has been done so far and works cumulatively. PAOK is treated like a small team with Kifissia, with OFI… It is not a matter of Greek football, but of PAOK. He should be concerned because he does not have a good referee. This causes the coach’s tension. They have to think in PAOK how they can protect the team».
