Razvan Lucescu also appeared irritated at the press conference of the game against Panathinaikos, he spoke out in favor of the referee both for Panathinaikos and for other teams and also referred to the dialogue he had with Ivan Jovanovic on the occasion of a remark made by Bart Schenkefeld face at the end of the game.

“It’s a shame. Football is a game played with fair play and not with any other help. There may be no support for either team at times. I went there three days ago when penalties were called outside the penalty area, offsides were given without even committing a foul. Panathinaikos was supported by whistles.

A yellow card for Tyson in the first half, a foul on Bamba, the phase with Koulierakis that becomes a clear foul and, above all, the goal that was scored after the end of stoppage time. It’s not a competition, there’s no real competition. Let them decide that a team should win the championship, let’s conclude.

There’s too much happening. We are not stupid. This is not the situation we want to have. This is not the competition we want. It is a situation that we cannot control. There are teams that are favored and trust that they can react differently on the field because they get a whistle. It is too much.

It is a question of self-confidence, judgment and strength. Receiving a foul in your favor. This disturbs your psychology. The goal we conceded against OFI is different from the one we conceded today. Today we’re talking about a goal that came in stoppage time. In the first half, Panathinaikos applied a lot of pressure.

He has a strong set and I don’t think he needs the referee’s help. We should have reacted completely differently. The way we deal with other teams is different. There was no second yellow card in the game against Aris and it was a clear phase.

In our games, a phase is analyzed for three to four minutes. If there were similar phases in Panathinaikos and AEK’s games, this wouldn’t happen. It’s all a lot. I don’t think the result is fair. In the first part he tore us apart, there was no way to react. If you told me it would be 3-1 to Panathinaikos at the end of the first half, I would agree. When we came back we had a different attitude and determination, were more compact and had chances. I’m not sure if there was offside in the final stages. It’s hard to lose the game like that.

Has Panathinaikos been favored in the last two years?

“Yes very”.

Why don’t you make statements if PAOK is favored?

“Tell me a crucial game we won with the referee. Maybe I don’t understand football. Maybe my team was helped, but I have to go way back. When Lamia did not receive a penalty, but in the next phase Kanias was given red. I don’t think that’s helpful. When Atromitos scored a goal and it was ruled offside. The results we had back then were clear. However, I’m talking about now. Panathinaikos needed no help to win in Tripoli. They could do it like they did with Villarreal. It’s a successive help that’s a shame. I’m talking about this moment.”

What did you say to Jovanovic at the end of the game:

“The conversation we had was about the behavior of Senkefeld, who turned to me at the end of the game and told me why I wanted to complain to the referee after we were sent off. He is a footballer and captain and has to look after the team and the players. his players. I wanted to tell him these things. It’s a shame to be captain and treat the officials like that.”

On Sunday match night, Pantelis Vlachopoulos commented on the Panathinaikos-PAOK derby alongside Pantelis Diamantopoulos and Themis Kaisaris, while Kostas Goulis and Manos Navrozidis carried the full report from Leoforos.
