Razvan Lucescu spoke about the game between PAOK and Midland (02/16, 7:45 p.m.) and announced that both Kurtic and Murg will not play.
Razvan Lucescu’s well-established press conference on the game between PAOK and Midland (17 February, 7:45 p.m.) took place on Wednesday afternoon (16 February).
The Romanian coach also referred to the absentee problems as first goalscorer Jasmine Kurtic remains in Thessaloniki like Thomas Murg.
In detail what he said
For changes to away goals and Midtjylland regulations: “The rules are rules and we have to adapt. I can’t say if I liked this change. I know these are the rules so we have to be ready.
The truth is that everything is judged by the second game. It is always our desire to win. We know we’re going to face a good team that represents a strong league. We know it won’t be easy. We will follow our own philosophy and try to win the game.”.
Whether the games against Copenhagen are different than in Midtjylland: “There are differences in the way the two teams play. Copenhagen have a different way of attacking. They did it with great intensity, especially when they were in the middle of the opponent. Midland, on the other hand, is a team that puts a lot of pressure and leads the opponents to mistakes”.
For consecutive games: “I don’t think there’s any difficulty because of the games that are going on. We’ve started to get used to it. We play, we sleep, we work, we prepare for the next one, we play. It’s a routine. In between we’re looking for motivation I forgot she’s my wife.
The situation is also difficult for the players. stadium sleep stadium sleep stadium family play with kids some thoughts for sure. But I think we all enjoy it. “We are confident and want to continue like this.”
Who will be in the mission: “Kurtic and Murg will not be with us, Colak will be in the squad as well as Koutsias. The rationale for the listing is very simple. A striker left, one had to go in. Ingason was out through injury, Varela had to be included in the list due to some issues with the team…
Filipe Soares is an investment for the team and a choice on the quality axis. He’s been here for 2.5 weeks and it will take a little longer for him to get used to understanding what we want from him on the pitch because he came into a difficult period with a number of games and training us more helps make the transition from one fight to another. We need motivation, freshness and 18-19 players, which are basically the key. When I say freshness, I mean both physically and mentally. “There has to be pressure on the team.”
