Konstantinidis: “We are concerned that the strikers are not scoring – We expected to get more from everyone”

Being superior for almost the entire duration of the match, Olympiacos prevailed with a score of 3-2 over PAOK in Toumba and forced the “double-header of the North” into its third consecutive home defeat in the championship.

THE Pantelis Konstantinidisthe man who also faces the representatives of the press while his punishment lasts Razvan Lucescuspoke at the press conference about the fact that no goals coming from the strikers of the team and for his presence Tiemoue Bakayoko in the starting lineup.

For the third home defeat in a row:

“I mentioned the bad placements in today’s game, but we had that in the previous matches as well. It played a big role that we lost 15 second balls. We cannot take advantage of the chances we create and the possibility of a good final, so that the second player coming from behind scores. You don’t get many moments like that in a derby. Today, of course, it was an open game, goals were scored and chances were created. But in derbies you generally don’t have many phases to score.”

Regarding Bakayoko selection in the starting line-up:

“Several factors played a role in that decision and not just the three midfielders we used in England. When you use a football player it’s a mind puzzle and you think he’s going to help you. So it wasn’t just the rotation.”

For goals coming only from Bubba:

“Unfortunately, we don’t get goals from our strikers and that worries us. I won’t go far, last year the team scored a lot of goals and we didn’t get much from the strikers. I wouldn’t just focus on Baba, we would expect to get more from everyone. In general, we don’t get much compared to last year.”
