Konstantinos Koulierakis made his mark on the PAOK-Helsinki match at the usual press conference.
The “double-header of the North” stopper pointed out that despite the mathematical certainty of both qualification and first place (which he won by one round) in Round 7 of the Conference League, there is a strong motivation on Thursday.
What he said in detail
On PAOK’s motivation and form: “We all work together every day as a team. We are well organized and have a good atmosphere. Our goal is to finish without defeat, as we also have a record, that if we win and get the 3 points, we will be the first Greek team to reach 16 points in Europe. The motivation is great».
For the presence of the world: “I forgot to mention it, it’s also motivation that the world will meet for the last time. It will be a long time before they come again. In their own way they will be by our side. It will be a special game.”
On the current situation in Greek football and how foreigners deal with it: “We understand everything. There are questions from foreigners and we try to explain them. For better or worse, a decision was made. We have to respect her and beyond that, we have nothing else to do but play and continue our good run».
For his own goals: “I want to be healthy and for sure, I can’t succeed if I don’t have the support of the entire PAOK organization. I have goals and I want to achieve many things».
On the importance of the qualification achieved by PAOK and Razvan Lucescu: “It is important that we have gone directly to the “16”. It is an important advantage, that we will not have games in Europe for a month and we will focus on the championship. The coach has achieved a lot in his career, he has a strong personality, he has experience and he has helped us youngsters a lot. We all continue together. Every player comes in with will and energy to help the team when they play. The team is as it should be and I think this is all very good».
