Lucescu: “Let’s dominate the stadium”

PAOK will face Aris in the Thessaloniki derby on Sunday (20/2) (7:30 PM, NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE on Sportish) and Razvan Lucescu said he expected a difficult game but wished his team dominated.

The Romanian said he doesn’t care that Aris has changed coaches and is one of the Yellows’ strengths. Properties compared to “NOVA”:

For the derby with Aris:

“It will be a very difficult game against Aris, a team with very good players, a team that has been waiting for this game, unlike us, who have had to face a European challenge. We are waiting for tomorrow to present ourselves properly .” We have to keep going: “We’re taking advantage of this good period we’re in, it’s really an important game for us.”

On the peculiarities of the games with Aris and the change of coach:

“The fact that Aris has changed coaches is an issue that should concern our own team. We, on the other hand, are a team that has our own philosophy, we have to present ourselves exactly as we should and we want and don’t have the ball .

Aris is a team that is more effective when they don’t have the ball, it’s a team that likes to dominate the field but when it dominates they struggle to create chances. “We have to dominate, do what we have to do and play the game the way we plan.”

Whether he will be absent: “We can’t take all the players that are part of the team. We have to have 20 players, 2-3 players are left out, but these are players who don’t have a medical problem.”
