Lucescu: “We did what we had to do in the second half, we could have drawn”

Razvan Lucescu told COSMOTE TV that PAOK wasn’t good against Marseille in the first half but showed a good image in the second and could even leave Velodrome with a draw. At the same time, he spoke to Marseille with the best words because he had shown that he had enough quality

Details of what Razvan Lucescu said: For the match, even though PAOK played well in both halves: “I don’t agree, we should have played the same way in the first half. We decided to play a game quickly and without patience. The second goal is a testament to the quality of Marseille. It’s a team that can give you problems with the ball on your feet.

I’m disappointed with the first half, we should have been more patient to keep the ball. In the second half we did what we had to do. In the last ten minutes we were harassed with a few set phases. We could score a goal and get the draw“.

If he expected another game and if he thinks PAOK can qualify: “I do not change my feelings and my impression. I saw what I expected. In the first half, Marseille kept the upper hand but didn’t manage many stages. In the second half we played confidently and the way we wanted‘.

About whether there was a special conversation with the players who had yellow cards: “I told you yesterday at the press conference that we are not thinking about it. Whoever gets yellow cards accepts because the game demanded it and he fought for the team and whoever gets penalized replaces him“.
