PAOK centre-back Jose Angel Crespo told Sportish that he believes qualifying for the games with Marseille has been scored in detail and stands behind the biceps fans.
That’s what Razvan Lucescu said in an interview with his players ahead of yesterday’s game against Marseille “God Will Be With Them”. Jose Angel Crespo believes this didn’t happen in the end. “If he had been with us, we would have scored two or three goals” the Spanish defender told Sportish in front of Toumba’s dressing room.
Crespo also emphasized that the taste of PAOK’s European course this year may be sweet in a few days, but everyone in the team is still upset that they didn’t manage to go further . “This year we took a step forward. Next year I hope to do another one.” he said, among other things, while standing in the presence of the people.
What he said in detail:
For the loss to Marseille: “The result of the game was tough for us. I don’t think we deserve to be left out in this way. We deserved more than what we finally got. We probably paid some details for a quality team. I think we played very well, we created a lot of chances, but it was definitely very difficult..
What was the key point of the game: “I think the details made the difference. We lost a ball on our own pitch and that gave them a chance to score while we missed a lot of opportunities in front of their home. In the end they beat us without giving us many chances and maybe the difference in quality tipped the details in their favor. “In general, I think we did very well and, as I said, we deserved a little more.”
For this year’s presence of PAOK in Europe: “To be honest, maybe after what we have achieved, what we have finally achieved and the fact that we have maintained our presence in the semi-finals of an event, maybe the taste that our European course will leave us in the coming days, will be good. But now we are very sad that we missed the opportunity to move to 4. Also the fact that the PAOK fans adored us, supported us after a loss makes us even sadder that we didn’t manage to bring them great joy. However, I think we made a step forward this year and I hope we will make another one next season..
For what Lucescu said in the dressing room: “He didn’t tell us much after the end of the game, only that he was proud of us. Before the game he emphasized that the details will decide the victory and that God will be with us. But in the end it wasn’t .If God were with us we would have scored two or three goals.As I said, we will be better in a few days but now we are very sad about the result but more about the fact that our fans have a great atmosphere and we didn’t manage to give them back what they deserved.
For the next day in the national competitions: “It will be difficult to return to Greek reality, but we are committed to it. We have the game with Aris, it’s important because we want to get second place and the semi-finals of the cup will follow. We still have games to play, we’re a good side and we’ll do our best..
