PAOK suffered a 1-0 defeat in Belgium by Club Brugge and will play his change in the second leg of Toumba for the Europa Conference League semi-final ticket.
In his statements at the press conference, Mr Razvan Lucescuspoke about the mistake that gave the lead to the Belgians, while adding that if his players had scored in the second half, no one would call it unfair.
“We didn’t have a clear mind in the last meters of the field. At the end of the day, the match was decided by a mistake that gave Bruges the lead and confidence. We, on the other hand, lost our confidence.
We didn’t play our best half. In the second half we managed to balance. We discussed this before that if we scored in the second half no one would say that we ‘stole’ the game. There is a strong motivation for the rematch from both teams. I have told you many times that our stadium is very important and will give us a lot of energy.
In any case, today we played the first half. We will go to Toumba for the qualification and we will give it our all. I’m not talking about the chances of qualification, I’m only talking about the way we play and how we react to difficult situations. Today we faced a team that has a different approach at their ‘home’ and possibly the odds for today were, if you want me to say 45-55“, characteristically, said the Romanian coach.
