Lucescu: “We are playing against opponents who have the support of the system”

THE PAOK took a great, as well as historic victory in “G. Karaiskakis” on Sunday night (05/11), winning with the impressive 4-2 of Olympiakos in the big derby of the 10th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

Speaking at the press conference after the match, the coach of the “double head of the north”, Razvan Lucescu, in this great result, while, declined to make comparisons of tonight’s victory against AEK.

At the same time, the Romanian technician, asked about the Constantia and Koulierakis uttered terrible rants about their youth.

What Razvan Lucescu said in detail:

About the game: “I think the season is decided in more games than one when you are a team that has high goals. We have lost two of the 19 games we have played so far. It is normal to have a bad result when there are many consecutive games. We are the only team that had to achieve back-to-back qualifiers without having the cushion of another competition and this created a lot of mental pressure and a busy schedule for us. When the hard days come, you have to get over the upset and keep going.”

For the title: “I won’t go that far. I’ll look at the next game. We will go game by game. We are a team that is forced to go game by game and try to get the maximum from game to game. We have quality and good opponents and they have the full support of the system.”

For the image of the team in the match with AEK and today in Faliro: “I will not make comparisons in the games. With AEK it was another game, today is another and on Thursday it will be a different game. Players who played today and not in the previous game have been used more generally in the year. We have a back-to-back schedule and we need to get the most out of the team. If we look at the longer list of the team, most of the players are used in games.”

On the departure of Mircea Loucescu: “The truth is it’s his decision but I don’t know what’s going on clearly yet. It’s his own life and career. We didn’t have time to discuss it. If you want you can call him to ask him yourself. I feel relieved that he will return to the country, I don’t know what the future will hold”.

For Konstantelia – Koulieraki: “For better and for worse, because he’s young and when you’re young you do things. Like my friend Koulierakis makes a shot from 40 meters in a 4-0 situation where we have to keep the ball and we conceded a goal. In football and in life when you are arrogant you are punished. That’s why I’m not so happy today, but I’m satisfied. In any case I want the best for them because they are two players who started playing at a higher level with me and they are very good”
