Thomason: “We were superior to Panathinaikos before the red card”

Before the rematch with him Panathinaikos in OAKA, Lance faces on Sunday (25/08, 16:00) at home Brest for its 2nd matchday Ligue 1.

At the press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game, Adrian Thomasonreferred to the first match of the French with the “clover”, emphasizing how they were superior before they are left with one less player.

“I am doing very well both physically and mentally. Regarding the match against Panathinaikos, it was a very intense match with several stages in the match. Before the red card, I think we were superior to the Greek team. Then for 70 minutes with ten men against eleven, we had to put in more effort and fight both to get the second goal and to keep the lead at the end of the game. It was a European match, with a lot of quality, intensity and energy. But we prepared well for six to seven weeks in the middle of the summer to be ready for these types of matches, and I think we responded.

Personally, I felt good. Even if towards the end of the race, it started to get a bit more difficult (smile). But it stands to reason, with one less player on the pitch, you have to run a bit more. You had to give everything for the team, that’s what I tried to do. I feel pretty good, that’s the advantage of being fully prepared. I feel ready to play matches“, said characteristically Thomason.
