Another victory, his fifth in the last six games in the league and Cup, Panathinaikos recorded last night at the Avenue, after the 2-0 against PAS Giannina.
Dominance which came “cleanly”, without the “clover” being threatened by his opponent rather than by a “set” ball, at a time when he did many more phases in the second half.
The important thing for Panathinaikos was that, with it, it managed to put the Epirotes “below”, overtaking them in the fourth place of the Super League 1 standings and with one match less…
What is even more important, however, for Ivan Jovanovic’s team is that he came with his players to bring out again enough of the elements that the Serbian coach wants on the grass!
Patience, “flat” football, with a mood of possession of the ball and initiative of movements, without “yomes” and lack of plan. Obviously, Panathinaikos can be further improved… In several parts of its game, undoubtedly.
The improvement and progress that is finally observed steadily, however, can only be recorded and “credited” to Jovanovic! Allowing optimism to increase that series and even better image afterwards.
And now… Volos
Of course, with the “greens” abstaining from claiming the title at the championship level this year, it is no secret that the other domestic event was and remains a realistic goal.
Especially since there is a 2-1 advantage for them from the first match with Volos, at “Apostolos Nikolaidis”, in the “16” phase.
Based on all the above, then, Panathinaikos is called to go next Thursday (23/12) to the capital of Magnesia and to do its duty.
Securing the “ticket” of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Cup and closing 2021 at the same time with another victory!
Come back at the right time!
The pleasant thing for Jovanovic and his associates, in view of Volos, is that no significant problem arose with Aitor Kantalapiedra and Carlitos, who left with minor injury problems.
Even more important, however, is the return of Bart Senkefeld to action and the basic formation with the first team, after his participation in the match with Ergotelis, with Panathinaikos B.
For the first time since May 12, the Dutch stopper started in the PAO squad, instead of Zvonimir Sarlia, yesterday against PAS.
With the exception of the lack of rhythm and a wrong turn of the ball, he gradually increased his performance, while with his speed and perseverance he showed… how much he missed!
Undoubtedly, another important “weapon” is added in the hands of Jovanovic, with Senkefeld’s influence not only concerning the four lines of the field but also the locker rooms.
