After the end of the match between Panathinaikos and PAOK, the coach of the trefoil, Rafa Benitez, focused among other things on the very good image of his players, especially in the first half, but also on the fact that they met the demands of the match.
“You analyze each match with the conditions that exist. We had a difficult match in Europe and travel. We had injuries, especially in attack. In the first half we did extremely well. We came in strong, we had tension, we pressed. We were dangerous, we scored two goals, we didn’t let the opponent threaten,” said Rafa Benitez.
On the roster problems with injuries: “I am satisfied and it is positive for the team. You always play with the ones you have. We had Jedvai as a right back. The players tried to give 100%. That’s what I always ask of the players. The footballers responded well to me. The more players enter the equation, the more the competition increases.”
