The Israeli midfielder also shared his impressions about the Fiorentina match, the team’s next games in Europe and the tough schedule ahead.

About PAOK’s chances of making it to the UEFA Europa League last 32 stage:

“Qualification has gotten a lot harder, but nothing is lost. We still have hope, as there are three matches left and we can get the points we need to qualify. ACF Fiorentina have already clinched top spot with 9 points, but second place is up for grabs, as EA Guingamp didn’t win in Belarus”.

About PAOK’s zero room for more point losses in Europe:

“That’s one way to put it. There are three matches left in the group stage, three finals actually. It will be tough, but we will fight for the best until the last encounter”.

About the loss to Fiorentina:

“Fiorentina have a very good team, but we could have gotten something more out of the encounter had we been more lucky. We could have at least drawn. Even in the last minute we wasted a big opportunity to equalize but my header just grazed the woodwork. Our next European match is in Florence. It will be hard to get a positive result there, but we will try to prove we deserve more. We need a good result more than they do. I believe that we will get what we want and then qualify along with Fiorentina, because we deserve it”.

About PAOK’s upcoming matches in Greece:

“We are used to playing back-to-back matches in Greece and Europe. We knew all along that our schedule would be heavy. We have to let the match against Fiorentina behind us, correct our errors and defeat Veria at home in order to remain at the top of the Greek League”.
