Lucescu: “It’s important that everyone in the team feels useful”

Razvan Lucescu spoke to the NOVA camera in view of the game on Sunday (February 13, 5:15 p.m. – NOVA, LIVE on Sportish) with Atromitos in Toumba and referred to the management of his players, stressed the importance of the game with his team Peristeriou, while also talking about Kurtic’s numbers in the standings. In detail what the Romanian coach of PAOK said in front of the camera of NOVA.

What’s left after qualifying against AEK:

“All that remains for me is that with Atromitos we have already concentrated on the game. For me as a coach, but also for the players, it’s forbidden to think about what happened three days ago, but we should only think about the game we have tomorrow.

What we have to say about these games with good teams and good players in 3 days (Panathinaikos and AEK), with teams that can push high and put you in a difficult position, is that we won both games and we did it with a reversal of the score .

What remains for us is the great commitment and our good mentality. “If we stay back inside and don’t watch the next game, we risk losing something to a team that is fighting for place and staying up in all their games.”

How different does Atromitos expect from the first round:

“The coach at Atromitos is based on psychology. He’s trying to unify the squad and I expect a difficult game.”

Given the difficult program, is he considering changing the team?

“I’ll try to be as correct as possible. For us, the most important game is always the next one. When you have to play in the league, in Europe and in the cup, it’s normal that you need all the players and the whole thing.” Group. There are players who gave us solutions. If we needed them to be a serious group, players need to be active and that’s what we have in mind. That doesn’t mean we’re going to make a lot of changes, it doesn’t mean we won’t make any, always for the win.

For the world to understand, a footballer can play 4-5 games in a row at his best level. Others can stay in all 3 games and it is rare for a player to play a larger number of consecutive games. We can compare it to a very good car that runs out of fuel and we have to “shell” it.

In these cases, the energy loss can also be spiritual in nature, which is equally important. Other players are needed, with whom he is already in good shape and the team will benefit, as well as the player himself. In a group, it is bad for players to see that one is playing in a row and another is not. The whole thing is weakening and we don’t want that. “It is important that everyone in the team feels useful.”

For the series of 13 games, PAOK dreams of seeing:

“I’m concentrating on tomorrow’s game. “I want to win like crazy tomorrow.”

For Kurtic, even though he used to have a means of becoming the team’s first goalscorer:

“We are all happy with his performance, he has the perception and composure when it comes to a penalty but he should also know that he is in a team that allows him to be close to the penalty area. Our style of play is like that. But sometimes I don’t care who scores as long as we get the win. Lyratzis, Sastre, Vierinia scored, Cindley doesn’t care. Anyone can score. At one point Crespo and Asteras had a run of defense he found himself in the opponent’s penalty area and won the penalty.
