Vitoria: "We want to dominate the field"

Panathinaikos coach, Rui Vitoria, expressed his optimism for tomorrow's return match against Shakhtar Donetsk for the third qualifying round of the Europa League. In the press conference, he stressed that absences are not an excuse, but an opportunity for other players.

Vitoria mentioned that his team analyzed the first match and will try to improve. He pointed out that Panathinaikos should make it difficult for Shakhtar when they have the ball and try to steal balls, while when they have possession, they should attack directly.

Referring to Ioannidis, he said that he has returned from injury and has joined the training sessions. Finally, he stated that he wants to create a team that will dominate the field and have the initiative.
