Panathinaikos in the last month is in its best – so far – period counting in 7 games in the league and Cup, 5 wins, a draw and a defeat, this one by AEK. From November 22 onwards, when the clover got its first double in the championship, prevailing 3-1 over Lamia in Volos, it started to achieve positive results, as a result of which it climbed in the standings and qualified for the next phase of the Cup.
The three midfielders have played an important role, among other things, in the green improvement. The Serbian coach has now established the 4-3-3 at Panathinaikos with Ruben, Vigiafanies and Mauricio, mainly, but also Alexandropoulos when he was called to play (he is the scorer of the second important goal in the first Cup match with Volos) to have developed into absolutely key players.
The Spanish “cutter” has played a key role in all the matches we mentioned, with the exception of the first Cup match with Volos, who entered the match as a substitute and played for 25 minutes. He is the footballer who gives calm to the midfield and is usually the first choice of stoppers for the development of the team. It is the “mind” of the team, without impressive things, but with essentials.
Mauricio returned with a goal, as a change in the away victory over Lamia and from that point onwards he took a place in the starting lineup again. He had an assist in the game with Panetolikos, scored in the victory over PAS Giannina on the Avenue and with his general presence added quality and experience in the center of the “greens”. In the last 6 matches, the Brazilian is a key player, playing as an internal midfielder.
As for Lucas Vigiafanies, he returned as a key player in the “double” with Lamia and from that point on he did not move from his position. Absolutely justified, since he makes excellent appearances and in every game he is the leader of his team. He had an assist in the victory over PAS Giannina, while the first goal started from his own feet. With his transfers he helps to create and to open the opposing defenses. At the same time, he shows mood and energy in his game, he does not look at all heavy on the field (the opposite) and his performance makes his coach smile with what he sees and ask for appropriate continuity.
As mentioned above, Alexandropoulos has been playing less lately, but he has the crucial goal in the 2-1 victory over Volos in the first Cup match. The year, after all, is a marathon and everyone needs it, taking their time whenever the coach decides. The young midfielder has played in a total of 14 matches this year, of which 11 are key. He has scored twice and counts one assist.
