For great opportunity but also great challenge Angel spoke Cresporepresenting his teammates in PAOKin the standard press conference, before the rematch with Midtjylland.
At the same time, the Spanish defender stated that everyone in the “Northern biceps” is still prepared for the possibility of penalties, while referring to the absence of Tsuba Akpom.
Details of what Crespo said:
On whether it is one of his most important games for PAOK: “It’s definitely the most important thing because it’s next. This is our mentality. It is important for the club. We have not been able to reach Europe from one point to the next. It is important for all of us to move on to the next phase of the event “.
Whether it is extra motivation: “It’s an opportunity and a challenge for all of us. “When we have such opportunities, what we have to do is take advantage of them.”
For what did not go well in the first game: “It is a fact that we did not enter the field as we wanted, possibly because we knew it would be a difficult game with a team that has a different style. Tomorrow we have to enter from the first minute, which we had after the first match, when our performance improved. “I think we have a lot of positive things to show and tomorrow is an opportunity to do it.”
For the problem that arose with Akpom and for the possibility of extra time and penalty: “We know it is a game that can go into extra time and penalties. We trained all week on this, so we are ready for any eventuality. For Tsouba, it’s something that happens in football… This last minute injury happened. Beyond that, there are many good and quality footballers, in whom we have full confidence, such as Tsolak and Koutsias who is young, but can come off the bench and give solutions. “We know we have to score as many goals as possible to qualify and we are ready for anything.”
On whether there are any Midland players who need to be more careful or should their team function be limited: “They have quality footballers, especially the winger, No. 10, the other winger, so we have to be careful. I think the strong point of Midland is its overall function. It is very good at pressing, very dangerous in the set phases, so we must have our mind, in every detail that can create a problem for us “.
For the 200 games with PAOK that he adds tomorrow: “It is very important for me, because it shows how long I have been here. I have always been quite important and reaching the 200 games, having missed a long enough time due to injury, shows that the rest of the time, I was quite important for the team. I am also very happy, because during this time, we managed to win several titles and so we want to continue in the coming years. “Also, tomorrow we have a very good opportunity to proceed to a European event and that is something we really want.”
