«Turn the situation around»
Željko Brkić spoke to media representatives after the encounter between Panathinaikos and PAOK for matchday 13 of the Super League. Here is what he said:
On whether this was PAOK’s worst match in the season attacking-wise:
«It sure wasn’t one of our good games. We faced a tough opponent who played strongly and defended correctly. We didn’t create danger in the rival box«.
On the play that led to Panathinaikos’s goal:
«It was a very fast play. His shot was accurate and I couldn’t see the ball in time to prevent it from entering«.
On whether that goal decided the game:
«Let’s say that it was an important factor. Football can be unpredictable. One play can decide a result, but many things can happen in 90-95 minutes«.
On the team’s situation:
«I believe that everything will change after a good result in an important game. Today, it wasn’t meant to be. We look ahead to our next encounter«.
On whether the game against FC Slovan Liberec can signal a change in the current situation:
«We are presented with a huge opportunity on Thursday, we can get a good result and start a new period for the team«.
