«Solid organization and proper mentality»
Everything that Răzvan Lucescu said after PAOK’s away victory over AOK Kerkyra for matchday 17 of the Super League Souroti.
On his players’ performance against AOK Kerkyra and their errors:
«It’s normal for a team to make errors during a match. The pitch didn’t help at all, we were forced to play with many touches –that perhaps also explains AOK Kerkyra’s aggressiveness. In such encounters, we need to be patient and make the best of the first chance we get. That is what we did today. We encountered many problems, not just in our midfield. It was easy for our opponents to play with long balls. However we ended up getting a deserving result, given our dominance on the pitch«.
On keeping a clean sheet:
«Yes, it’s very important. It boosts our self-confidence and shows proper mentality. Errors might occur at some point, we are only human, but with the right spirit we can react and remedy such situations. A team not conceding away goals is self-confident«.
On starting Koulouris instead of Prijović:
«We have a whole group of players and we need to take advantage of it. We are fighting on two fronts. A team needs to have solid organization and proper mentality in order to find solutions from all players. We played three matches this week and I wanted to use all my players, because I wanted to win all three matches«.
On when Azevedo will be ready:
«Don’t expect to see him play in the next three weeks. He will reach a very good fitness level in 3-4 weeks. We need to keep the balance, give him the opportunity to do well when he returns in action and help us get good results without risking. I focus on what we should do, while also working with Azevedo«.
