Jansen: “We showed PAOK more respect than we should have”

Pascal Jansen emphasized that Ferencvaros respected PAOK more than they should, he stood on the quick goal they conceded, he believes that they lost the right side from Živković, that they were not focused in the first quarter and that they did not have the required energy.

In detail:

As for the team looking tired this time around: “With this match we reached 29 matches. But this is why we live. We have proven that we have matured enough. This game showed that everything was different. We showed more respect to PAOK. We received four yellow cards not for serious reasons. We conceded the first goal early. And PAOK did nothing but take advantage of this fact.

Even after PAOK’s first goal, we showed great respect to our opponent. The plan was not to allow PAOK to play their game in the first minutes, especially from the right side played by Zivkovic. But there was too much respect on our part and it shouldn’t have been.”

How to explain that you expected how PAOK would play, but you conceded five goals: “I told you that we had a strategy, which, however, did not pay off mainly in the first 15′ when we conceded the quick goal. We should have been more focused. Things are very difficult when you concede five goals and it’s not easy to accept that in any game.

You would see that the energy PAOK had was greater than the energy we produced in the game. This result is hard to accept, especially after our last victories. We presented a weakness on the left side that we must correct in the next games.”
