PAOK will face Club Brugge in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League, while if it manages to exclude the Belgians, it will face the winner of the Victoria Plzen-Fiorentina match in the “4”.
THE Andre Vierigna he spoke to the Cosmote TV camera, stating that the “black and white” are not afraid of anyone, while he also spoke about his performance against Dinamo Zagreb yesterday.
In detail, what Andre Vierigna said to the Cosmote TV camera:
For the games with Club Brugge: “Every game is difficult. It will be two tough games. We avoided the favourites, but all eight teams are difficult. We have time to read them and perform properly in both games. I thank Vassilis Tsiartas for the good draw, of course I haven’t forgiven any of them since 2004 (laughter), but for today I thank him.
PAOK is not afraid of any team. We respect every opponent, but we also want to try hard to get to the next round.
We know we have a past, it will be two tough games and we will prepare for them. In theory we have a passable path, but in football everything is difficult. We have seen a lot, we have to be serious, watch the playoff games in the league and see when we have to the games with Bruges.
We have to think game by game. At the moment we are thinking about the playoffs and when that time comes to be 100% prepared for those games».
On the great goal he scored with Club Brugge: “I remember it, like today… It was arout from the left, I let the ball run and with the right shooter. That PAOK and this PAOK have nothing to do with each other. We have improved on many things.
Other eras. Some years later I was with a Brugge player in Wolfsburg, Perisic, we talked about these two games. In the end we passed then, so we have good memories.”
On his effort yesterday against Dinamo: “I ran nine kilometers yesterday! 30 km/h at 38 is not bad. We knew that Hoxha wants one-on-one, asking for the ball in the area, so with experience I tried to cover that. In the first half, I limited his space quite a bit, unfortunately I couldn’t limit him in the goal.
After 70′, my legs started to get tired. It’s not easy at 38 to play 90 minutes with the intensity of the game and that’s why I asked for a change».
