Garcia: “I wish we had the… Bernabeu – Vieirania must think about coaching because he is a grandfather”

Although he was not impressed, PAOK won (2-0) away from home Panseraikoustaying in… behind her AEKin a match with several tensions and two expulsions for the hosts.

After the match, Pablo Garcia at the press conference he responded to Razvan Lucescu’s strong criticism of the pitch at the Municipal Stadium of Serres, while referring in a humorous way to the age of his old teammate, Adelino Vieirania.

In detail what he said:

If he feels his team has been hurt by individual mistakes:

“We made some individual mistakes, maybe the referee made other mistakes on his part. The point is that we lost, we need more points and we will continue to fight like this. I’m happy with the team’s performance, when they play well I’m very happy.”

For Lucescu’s statements on the pitch:

“This is the stadium we have, I wish we had the Bernabeu… And the rest of the teams played in it. I don’t mind anything in what he said.”

For Thymiani’s injury:

“His condition needs to be examined better, we hope he doesn’t have anything serious, we still don’t have a picture, he was walking when he left but we have to wait.”

For the cards:

“I think that’s what the referees have to answer, we’re trying to play football and not in an unsportsmanlike way. What happens is sometimes players are afraid of not being carded, anyone who knows a ball can see the markings. This question should be explained by the arbitral tribunal and not by us. We are a team that is more… light than aggressive.”

For the battle of staying:

“Everyone is fighting to get points, the league is competitive. On Sunday we have a strong match against Asteras here and we want to stay in the division”.

On the four-four with Vieirania and if he thinks he can become a coach:

“I’d better not tell you what… we discussed! I can’t tell you about coaching, he might not even want it, but he definitely has to see it because he’s… a grandfather. Finally, I want to express my condolences to the relatives of the people who lost their lives in the Tempe accident”.
