PAOK, a team prepared by Răzvan Lucescu, and Maccabi Tel Aviv made 0-0 in the first stage of the unique group of the Europa League.
As the match from Thessaloniki went, Răzvan Lucescu can declare himself satisfied with the draw. Paok wasted enough occasions, but Maccabi also had his. Some big ones, situations alone with the goalkeeper in which Pavlenka did wonders.
Răzvan Lucescu: “It was a complicated match”
After the final whistle, in front of the cameras, Răzvan Lucescu acknowledged the quality of the opponent and blamed the bad thing for his marked team. “It was a complicated match, against a team with a lot of offensive quality, which can create opportunities at any time.
I made some mistakes in the first half and they led to the occasions. In the second half, they did not repeat and I did not give the opponent any spaces, “commented the Romanian technician. He also said that the opponent” defended well, was not easy, but we had big opportunities to win the match.
We were unable to mark. In some phases, we also need luck, we are in a period of luck. We must keep the confidence with which we fought and from now on we transform the phases into goals ”.
Gazzetta.gr: “The job of each coach stops on the edge of the box. The void is not learned”
In a comment on the match, Gazzetta.gr gave justice to the Romanian technician: “The void is not learned, no matter what Lucescu does. The job of each coach is to make his team create opportunities …
The job of each coach simply stops at the edge of the box. Then it is a matter of individual and personality quality. These are of course, of course, but in Greece we cancel everything without analyzing the real causes.
PAOK gave two points that they could have taken. The players showed character after the first 45 minutes missed, but showed problems at completion. If they want to advance in the competition, they must find a solution in terms of scoring goals”.
