“Yesterday, when asked by a Greek journalist, I joked that we would get PAOK and it came true. We know Lincoln, we had him recently and FC Copenhagen is a quality opponent. It’s not the easiest or hardest group. We’ll see what we play in it. PAOK and Copenhagen they are attractive teams and fill stadiums.

We must be satisfied with the draw, we will not affect it. We will fight and try to advance. We will be the favorite in the double match with Lincoln, but we have to prove it on the field as well. Matches with PAOK and Copenhagen are open, everyone should be the favorite on the home field, “Weiss told the club’s website.
