“The attack cuts tickets, but the defense gives titles.” Permanent effect of (most) coaches, regardless of sport, in the depths of time.
And if the truth is usually somewhere in the middle, in his case Panathinaikos may not offer titles, but it offers consecutive victories!
It gives calm, confidence and, in any case, helps the even better balance of the “greens”, who no longer need to start in every match knowing that they have to score at least twice to win it…
His best series!
The draw-qualification in the Cup against Volos, in the capital of Magnesia, in a game where Socrates Dioudis was just a spectator, was the third game in a row where Panathinaikos kept its home inviolable!
The matches against Atromitos and PAS Giannina had preceded, both in “Apostolos Nikolaidis”, both for this year’s Super League 1.
With the “clover” also being almost not threatened at all in these matches and Alberto Brinioli intervening little, whenever needed …
Performance that is the best record so far for Panathinaikos, after before had only two consecutive clean sheets, in the matches with Atromitos in Peristeri for the Cup and OFI in Leoforos for the championship.
From one goal per match, to half…
The general improvement of the defensive function of Ivan Jovanovic’s team is also reflected in its image in the previous games from them…
It is indicative that Panathinaikos has scored three goals in his last seven matches, while in the previous ten he saw his opponents score nine times.
Almost one goal per game, that is, with the percentage being reduced by half at the end and being one of the reasons for the winning streak that PAO is “running”.
He came and tied it
Of course, he also has a significant share of responsibility for this event Bart Senkefeld. The return of the Dutch stopper in action made Panathinaikos even more effective in the backcourt.
And if in the match with Atromitos a change was made, playing for only eight minutes, in the matches with PAS and Volos, Senkefeld started as a key player, scored 90 minutes and showed how valuable he is for his team!
Neither 3×3 without goals, nor the absence of (many) phases by opponents is a coincidence in the frames of Panathinaikos, with the presence of the 30-year-old defender.
