Dimitris Mazis emphasized that Panathinaikos appeared inferior to the circumstances against Barcelona and that now the season has started, he gave a signal for the matches with NOP and Honved and asked for work so that they look stronger in the consecutive games every week.
In detail: “I think today we performed below the circumstances and, certainly, it seemed that we had an extra stress that we were playing in Europe at home and we wanted to do our best. However, it is still very early in the year and we still have a lot of games ahead of us. I think it was just a bad bracket today.
We start the league with NO Patras and at the same time we also have our minds on Honved, who are playing away from home against a traditional power. From now on, we have consecutive games every 3-4 days and we have to show up strong.”
Nikos Papasifakis added: “It was our first match in Europe and things were definitely very difficult. We have a very difficult group and we liked that the people were on our side. We started the match well, but along the way we lost it somewhere and were sluggish at some points. Be that as it may, it is still early and the event has a long way to go and we can definitely qualify”.
