After the Levadeakos-PAOK final (0-2) o Razvan Lucescu stressed that extra pressure should not be put on the team. “If someone is not happy I can leave“, pointed out the Romanian technician.
In detail what he said:
On whether he considers the victory over Levadeakios crucial and on the fine imposed on the players: “When you make so many changes you basically start from scratch, maybe even further back. And when you do that it takes time. It doesn’t happen overnight for players to acquire automations, everyone’s relationships have to be rebuilt.
From all the years I’ve been working in November we have chemistry. Regardless of the quality of the players, it must be understood that we have footballers from different cultures. Another from eastern Europe, another from northern Europe, another from western Europe. It is easy to break something and much more difficult to fix something.
We were lucky to get into the Europa League, lucky to have a player base from last year and we have a way of playing. We had two European matches with a lot of chances and we made mistakes that we paid for because that’s what happens when the team is being built. We are first in the standings.
I have no problem going to Thessaloniki and packing for Bucharest if some people don’t understand the process. I am calm with a clear mind and soul. I have shown what I can do. If someone is not happy I can leave».
If he thinks that his work is not recognized: “Tonight we haven’t won either the title or the Europa, but we are working to be happy in May. We must have a balance and we must not make fun of the work done in the team, put enormous pressure on them. Thus we cannot create proper relationships, because space is given to things that happen within the group and affect it. For example, who is on the European list, who is not. I’m not just talking about PAOK. In general, this happens in Greece. Our strongest point is balance».
