About the game against Panathinaikos: “It will be a turning point. Everybody’s waiting for it and so are we. However, we must stay focused and serious prior to this game as well as afterwards, just like we did tonight.”
About the Europa league match of the round of 32 – return leg, against Rubin Kazan: “The first game’s result definitely gives us an advantage but it does not secure the qualification. We must be cautious and I believe that an early goal would make things easier of us.”
