PAOK is ready to travel to Croatia, where against Croatia’s double, Rijekawill look for a positive result for qualifying in Europa League League Phase.
A few hours before the Thessaloniki team departed, Swaliospoke at a press conference for tomorrow’s match (21/8, 21:45), stressing that PAOK would prove on the court that he was better than Rijeka, he said he was impatient for the challenge, and noted that after the … marathon with her Wolfsbergerstays in good shape and feels better, day by day.
In detail what he said at the press conference:
For what situation is and how he sees tomorrow’s match: “Personally I feel better and better. It is a fact that I was missing from previous preparations. Certainly this year it was different and it was good for me to prepare, to adapt to the coach’s wishes. I am happy and looking forward to tomorrow’s game. “
For what he expects to see tomorrow in the race: “First of all the previous games were not easy, it was special. Against a team that defended and hit us on the counterattack, something always difficult, but we were ready to face it and qualify. Now we have played two games already and worked more. We regularly work a lot. Rijeka is a good playing team that is playing football and I believe we are ready to get the positive result tomorrow. “
For when we will see him in 100% and if they feel more “liberated” after qualifying for Wolfsberger: “I did the preparation and played in the friendly. Even if you work a lot in preparation, you can’t be ready for these games. I have played 90 minutes in Tuba and 120 minutes in Austria, I felt my feet heavy, but I will feel 100% and absolutely well. Our goal is not the Conference League. From the beginning the goal was to get to Europa. We are a better team than Rijeka, but we have to show it on the pitch. Conference is good, but Europa is a level above, a more competitive event and it’s worth playing at the highest level. “
