PAOK beat Kifisia 3-0 and are two points clear of leaders Olympiakos. Răzvan Lucescu thus reached the victory with the number 200 on the bench of the team from Thessaloniki.
Lucescu jr received gifts from the club and his players after the final whistle of the match against Kifisia (3-0). PAOK gave him a painting with his face and the number 200. On its base are written, in English, “200 victories with PAOK” and “RĂZVAN LUCESCU”.
Also, in the Facebook post, the Greeks wrote “The General made them 200″. The players didn't let themselves down either and gave Răzvan a ball signed by each of the team members.
Răzvan Lucescu: “I asked my second-in-command if 200 victories are a lot”
He himself looked somewhat surprised, as if he didn't know before the match that a possible win would be PAOK's 200th. “To be honest, I didn't realize. I just understood that … they gave me a gift at the end of the match.
PAOK's gift to Răzvan Lucescu upon reaching the milestone of 200 victories
I asked my second if these victories were many. In the sense that I have been here for so long and I wish there were even more. It is a special evening for me”, said Lucescu junior at the press conference.
Then, he wanted to specify that if he reached 200 victories with PAOK it is also thanks to the owner Ivan Savvidis: “I want to thank the Savvidis family for the support they gave me. Thanks to them, I am here. The most important thing is this. Then, I want to thank my players for their effort to support what we do.”
Răzvan Lucescu accused the hardness of the opponent
Regarding the match with Kifisia, Răzvan Lucescu accused the hardness of the opponent: “Kifisia is a team that looks for physical contact. They committed several fouls with which they “broke” the rhythm of the match. We managed to score before the break, and then, at the restart, things were different.
We didn't have full possession, but we controlled the game. We tried to take advantage of our opportunities. That's how we got to this score, 3-0. I think the change in intensity in the 25th minute caused Kifisia to commit a lot of fouls and that cost her the red card in the 73rd minute.”
After the guests remained inferior, PAOK increased the open score through Simon's own goal (43). Taison, in the 88th and 90th+3 minutes, established the final result, 3-0.
