PAOK – Razvan Lucescu: “I was sure about the overthrow with Dinamo Zagreb in Toumba”

He played a great game in the rematch with her in Toumba and qualified for the Conference League’s “8” despite the 2–0 defeat in the first game, which he said was certain, Razvan Lucescu. In an interview with a Middle of his home country, Lucescu referred to the qualification over Dinamo Zagreb, as well as the draw with Club Breez, while not hiding he dreams of the Conference League final for PAOK. Lucescu’s statements “The most important of all is that we qualified. The experience of the second match for me began immediately after Zagreb’s match when I was disappointed not with the result but with the game we played there. Actually there we lost a game we could get more stuff. But I was sure after the match in Zagreb that we could turn the situation on our pitch.” For the course of PAOK and whether he thinks of a European final: “It was a good and beautiful game for us, a special qualification. A magical season for us so far and with special potential, with an excellent perspective in front of the European cups, why not? It’s normal to hope, dream. We need to focus on the next games.” For the development of the game in Toumba: “When we accepted the goal at 3-0 and the score turned 3-1, equalizing Dinamo the score of the first match, we hoped to score in the second half and not go to the extension. Finally we scored this goal and then a fifth goal and we did it in a dominant way in the field.” For the draw with Club Breeze and the European sequel to PAOK: “We must respect the opponent. No struggle is easy especially when it comes to a European organisation. Each opponent has his own strengths, as we have ours. We have some significant experience this year in European events. I think we’re well prepared. It is important to stay organized and focused in the first game. We are currently thinking about the quarterfinals. To get to the final, you have to go through a quarter and a semi-final. As I said, quarterfinals matter to us, nothing more.”
