Konstantinidis: “We have identified the problems, we will be better in the next games”

PAOK and Olympiacos are in the face of Toumpa tonight (20:30), with Lutsescu’s direct partner, Panteli Constantinidistalk to Nova in the face of the important match!

Initially, he talked about how the “biceps of the North” would be able to leave behind the negative series of five consecutive games without a win, stressing that the problems had been identified and expressed the conviction that PAOK would be getting better.

In detail what he said:



How PAOK can overcome the series of five games without a win: “From race to race we had some different issues to address. At first we had the issue with scoring and we had said that it would not be particularly concerned with us because it is a matter of time for the team to find a way to start scoring a goal, now we have recently begun to conced some goals that have worried us because we are trying to find the solution so that this is not the case.

Unfortunately in the last two games, we conceded a goal in the last minute of the first half and in both goals were important for how the team came into the locker room. Things could have been much better if we had not conceded these last -minute goals. We are definitely working every day to find solutions to the problems presented, so that we can do the team as we want to see it. “.

On whether the confidence of the team has been shaken: “We have analyzed the situation on the negative results. I think this team should exceed them relatively easily because we are all professionals, we must do our job properly and when we work properly I think the results will slowly come to us. They certainly influence the team’s psychology when you don’t have the results, but we have to look at the sequel, look forward. “.

For changes in the center of defense from fight to race: “I don’t think it’s a matter of persons or changes, the problems we mentioned before. I think the changes are always based on which player is more ready and according to the features of the opponent. Basically we want players who are more ready to play, so that we can present as best as possible.

There are so many games that if you hold the players themselves on the pitch it is very difficult to cope and it is perfectly reasonable. On the other hand we have a race every 3-4 days so it makes sense to have changes. There can be no stability in such a program with series, but I think it’s not what should worry us ».

As to whether the problems have been identified in this interval: “We have identified the problems, surely and we will be much better in the next games. There is one way to solve such football issues, training. As far as we can train is the truth because you understand after continuous games it is very difficult to train the team. In the little time between the games you try to do your best. This is the biggest problem when there are continuous games ».

As to whether the upcoming interruption will be beneficial to PAOK: “It will definitely be good for us, but again there are many children who will go to their national teams. It makes us happy but on the other hand you can’t work with all players. ”

On the problems that exist in the face of Olympiacos: “There are 1-2 issues that we will decide at the last minute whether these children will be with us”.

For the common point PAOK and Olympiacos with the strong away games in Europe: “And we traveled to Spain, Olympiacos was in England. They were both very strong games, I think both teams will do their best to present their best after fatigue and travel.

Olympiacos is a bit more lucky because he has a day more to rest, because we know in such a program even an hour of rest is important. Beyond that the program is a given, we know it and we have to present on the pitch properly. “

For Olympiacos: “It’s a team that knows what he is asking for on the pitch, he knows how to get the results, I’m an experienced team. It has a lot of great quality and this derby will be a beautiful race because both teams want to create ».

For the 26th anniversary of the Tempe’s accident: “This day is a day of sadness for the team. We will never forget these games that lost their lives. Unfortunately it became this ugly incident that shaken us all. That day I was part of the team, I was playing in PAOK then. Really these kids will be in our memory forever.

I think it would be a good opportunity to be able to give joy to the world, to give joy to the nearby people of those lost. The little joy we can give them, to soften their pain. I wish it was a day of joy for the city and for all PAOK fans ».

About where the game will be judged: “Certainly the team that will have the most will will have the lead. The team that will be spiritually more ready will be more likely to win. The details will play a role as in all derby. For me, the most important thing is how the team will get into the court. The tactics and all of this come next. “.
