Jovanovic: “Difficult game, but we made it”

Panathinaikos defeated Lamia 2-0, returning to wins and returning to 4th place in the table, with Ivan Jovanovic completely satisfied with the presence of his players.

The Serbia coach spoke of a difficult game and referred to the support that Gacinovic and Kourbelis will provide from now on:

“In the beginning it was a very difficult game from the start because we’re coming from bad results. The quick goal helped us, while I think we completely controlled the pace of the game in the first half, we also had some conditions In order to be able to facilitate our work a bit in terms of ways, we didn’t do it.

In the second half, when it was 1-0 and with the time we’re coming from, it was logical to bring nervousness and uncertainty into the game, but I think that in general our management from the players was right. We didn’t get carried away and we didn’t take any chances in the second half, we were able to control the game to score the second goal requested to return to the wins.

For the appearance of Ioannidis and Gacinovic?

“I don’t want to comment personally on that. Fotis is a kid who has prospects, he needs to focus more on the work he has to do to be as efficient as he is today. Gacinovic is a player with a lot Experience in a big and strong league, but “Certainly the lack of games lately has come at a cost. I think over time and the upcoming games will help us a lot. Just like Kourbelis, who is slowly coming back into the team and can give us solutions.”
