Jovanovic: “We should have done more and been more threatening when we controlled the match

Panathinaikos had to do more and be more effective in the periods in which they had control of the match against Aris, he said in his statements at the Press Conference after the end of the match Ivan Jovanovich.

In detail what the coach of Panathinaikos said:



“Congratulations to Aris for the victory. Always when you lose, you analyze it. It’s early now. There are definitely things we can learn and you experience them during the championship. It wasn’t something completely unexpected. A game that in its longest duration we were in control, with quite good patience and partnerships.

But we didn’t have the phases proportional to the way we played. After the first goal we didn’t even have the peace in the game. There was more haste. Aris fought the game hard. He has good players, a good team and can take advantage of any counter attack. That was the game. We are quite disappointed but it was a normal score based on the picture I have. We didn’t play a bad game, we just could have done more when we were in complete control of the match.”.

On the importance of the first goal scored by Ares: “He played a role but we shouldn’t dwell on that. They are games that make mistakes. It possibly put us in a process of doing more things. Mistakes are made in football. Before the goal we could have done many more things.

Then we didn’t have the composure to complete our attacks. We didn’t have great chances and that gave Aris the opportunity to keep the score. We need to be more decisive, especially in the final third of the pitch. To do more things and be more threatening”.
