Panathinaikos was confident because he was protected by the referee.

Lost 2-1 by Panathinaikos in Toumba and Rezvan Lucescu during the post-match press conference, PAOK again pointed to the referee and suggested that there was more protection in Athens teams while arguing that Alfalfa plays with a different confidence when favored by a player. control.

On what PAOK lacks and if this is the easy target he has said before:

“After the cup final, I said everything was done for Panathinaikos to win, and this year it was done to win the title. Bearing in mind that today’s match came a great chance with the goal of Sporar and Bernard, and it was the actions that made the difference in shaping this result.

Panathinaikos was lucky, they have a good mentality, when you defend you have more confidence in the way you play, unlike us who have been attacked since the first game of the season.

I don’t want to talk about refereeing, we tried and created chances with different chances from Panathinaikos, we didn’t score and we didn’t manage to score. This cost us as it did in the match against AEK at home.

For the specifics against PAOK and whether these teams receiving them are more prepared:

“I don’t want to get into that part, it’s a situation that requires more talking but you challenge me to speak up. There’s more protection in the Athens teams, not so much in the derby as in other matches. I’d like to have the officiating away in the derby like Panathinaikos today.”

It gives you a different confidence when you are protected from yellow cards or reporting. We have a lack of maturity as a group, and we can’t handle that, it’s a result of many things. A big gap is created because of these attitudes between the Athena teams and us, if you make a mistake you will pay for it.

Today we saw a stage that was canceled due to a shoulder offside, I won’t say if it was like that or not, we can say with the same logic that three players from Astera were offside, we conceded a goal and it cost us 2 points, in Ioannina we didn’t get a penalty kick in our favour, we are talking about 4 points .

With AEK we had the pressure that any mistake would cost us finding ourselves apart demanding something greater. This is the situation, I’ve tried to describe it as succinctly as possible, the difference between having a team that’s more prepared and ready for the championship.”

On Augusto’s different partner for the fourth consecutive match:

“We have three players in that position, there has to be a rotation, he’s Augusto for sure and he’ll rest if necessary. Dundas didn’t play a bad game but it’s normal for his strength to go down, he also got a yellow card, we didn’t want him to get a red flag in some cases.” late signs.

Panathinaikos defended with the sheer motivation of a ranking position and the desire for victory, and we managed to bring them down, Schwab’s entry was impressive. It would probably be completely different if it was used from the beginning.”

For world recognition of the effort despite the derby defeat:

“Certainly we can use them, recognizing that there is no lack of motivation and that we have not given up. We are working with motivation for these games, Panathinaikos and AEK are confident that they will go maybe … and under the turf to win balls We also saw today that we do not lack motivation, AEK has changed Her image has radically changed in previous years and is in the position she is in now.

After the game we lost in Toumba, I said it was the easiest game to beat, and yet we lost 1-0. We’re sad, I can’t stay here, I want to go out and walk 100km so I don’t think we lost games the way we did.”

On whether he agrees that the second half was the best in the league and whether this gives him confidence going forward:

“We faced a good team today, the first half wasn’t bad, we had potential and chances that we didn’t translate in the right way like with Augusto, Constantia, Tyson and Oliveira. We didn’t evaluate them properly, I remember three big chances in the first half, could we have Managing the goal phase we received differently. Panathinaikos fell in the second half, we must not lack motivation, we have the cup final and we are working to win it.

For Stefanos Tzema and the fact that it was not used above:

“This is not his moment, it’s a different situation, with Ionikos he went 5-0 with one player less than the opponent, the duels are different. There is danger in matches like with Panathinaikos, Tzima’s time will come.

We see Konstantinos different in terms of his presence compared to the way he started, he wants to take more responsibility, Kolerakis after many things appear, it is normal for his performance to decrease, when the time comes to compete it will happen. Let’s do what we know as best we can.”
