Head coach of Greek Panathinaikos Ivan Jovanovic summarised the results of his team's return match against Dnipro 1 (2-2) in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, which took place yesterday in Athens. Recall, the first meeting of the rivals ended with a victory of the Greeks with a score of 3:1.
"We passed a very good team. Without exaggeration. "Dnipro-1" is really a very good team, which does not forgive the slightest relaxation or mistake.
So I am not surprised that the return match turned out to be so difficult for us. But the main thing is that it ended with the result that took us to the next round," Jovanovic said at the post-match press conference.
Интересно, Кучер и компания изучали "Панатинаикос"? Они ведь не могли не знать об этой "фишке", и, тем не менее, не подготовили команду. Так, что первый матч был проигран прежде всего психологически. "Панатинаикос" - неприятная команда, не брезгующая грязными приёмами. Буду удовлетворён, если она с треском вылетит от "Марселя."
В такой же манере играют и турки,и португальцы,и сербы с хорватами...
