by

And with short sleeves in Europe o PAOK! The “biceps of the North” got a great qualification for the “16” of the Europa Conference League, prevailing 5-3 of Midland in the penalty shootout (2-1 the regular time).

His team Rasvan Lucescu unlocked the opponent’s defense with a remote transfer, to find a second goal with Vierinia’s goal. However, towards the end of the match he accepted great pressure, especially from… air. With the Danes scoring, sending the game to extra time and then to “Russian roulette”, where “spoke” Paschalakis.

In detail, the key points from the “coach of the podium”:

* Unlocked the 5-3-2 with a long transfer: Decisive start in the match by PAOK, who was looking for a goal to start, to send the match to extra time. Finally, he found two quick goals. It is important to enter properly in such crucial matches and Lucescu lined up his team with the right psychology.

In the first minutes, of course, he was looking for how to break it down 5-3-2 of opponents. One way was remote transfers and finally took advantage of it. Zivkovic may not have taken advantage of Ingason’s deep shot in the 10th minute, but he did. Cholak with its corresponding Lyratzi in 20 ‘, a phase where it became 1-0.

* He did not pay it back, but accepted it by air:

Whatever situation Midtjylland tried to create at the beginning of the match was basically in against, with PAOK having the appropriate answers. However, he did not have them in the final straight of the regular duration. Where the Danes – having loaded the opposing frames – tried to fillings. Something that came out of them, as successive gaps appeared in the center of the home defense. Thus, the goal was found by Henriksen’s team, which in this way, among other things, had beam.

* Dropped the tempo and paid for it:

As it was noted, PAOK entered the match furiously. And after he managed to find the two goals, he dropped the pace. He controlled the tempo, of course keeping in mind how he would threaten. Nevertheless, the result proved endangered. Maybe he should have looked more vigorously for a third goal that would largely clear the qualification. Finally, he did not find it and paid for it, when Midtjylland decided to play it safe.

* The Vierinia-Biseswar changes:

In the 71st minute Rasvan Lucescu made his first changes in the match, passing them Mitritsa and Cindley instead of Biseswar and Vierinia. In essence the whole left side changed of the “biceps of the North”, which up to that point functioned perfectly. Probably due to fatigue of the last two. What is important is that the new team did not help the hosts either offensively or defensively.

* The Paschalakis parameter:

He has heard a lot from time to time (sometimes justifiably). However, there are evenings, such as today, that prove his abilities. The Greek keeper was crucial with his repulse in their process penaltywhile he had a significant operation on normal discretion.
