The belief that the Lazaros Christodoulopoulos can offer to Aris and help him for the continuation of the season expressed o Antonis Petropoulos. The veteran ace also spoke to Metropolis about the match between Panathinaikos and the Yellows on Sunday, pointing out that both teams are in a strange situation.
Antonis Petropoulos stated in detail:
For the AEK Cup match with Olympiakos:
“We see that AEK is pressing at the beginning of the match, whether at home or away. He managed to find a score quickly transferred the pressure to the opponent. The points at the beginning of the halves are the most difficult. There is a problem in the midfield in Olympiakos, 3-0 is a big advantage for AEK and in Karaiskakis we don’t know what will happen”.
For Doi:
“The child plays Wednesday-Sunday. We can’t say it’s a young footballer’s fault, he needs some time. It is the same for the new kids of PAOK. They are big teams with pressure and it takes time.”
For Levi Garcia:
“It’s in very good condition and it shows. He has elements that surpass other attackers. Is it AEK, is it the system, Almeida? He also has a share and AEK’s system shows that it is paying off”.
For young Greek footballers:
“There is a problem with the Greeks in general, especially in the big teams. In my time with Lazaros (s.s. Christodoulopoulos) they found it difficult to believe us and it’s bad because players leave. We have to believe in ourselves at some point. Because we produce talent.”
On the transfer of Christodoulopoulos to Aris:
“Ares had no Greek players. Lazarus has personality and has shown it. Wherever he went he played and won titles, the numbers say it. I believe it will help Aris. I hear about his age and in Italy we see star players 38 and 39 years old. He has motivation and personality, he is a winner, he has one-on-one, good execution, he will help Aris, he can give a click up. It’s enough to support him, don’t play him and he misses a goal and they say who Christodoulopoulos. He is experienced, you know what he will offer you, he has played in all the big teams, he plays all positions up front. He is a player I knew from the national teams and his career is successful. He has the ability to threaten with long shots and set pieces. He has the personality to lead a team as long as they embrace him. Then there are the sports fans. Mars only has to win. He didn’t spend too much money and he is a footballer who can offer.”
For Aris-Panathinaikos:
“It’s a strange match, in football there are unsettled factors to take a game and make moves. I don’t know what condition he is in, he will need some time I imagine. Both teams are in a strange phase.”
For the season finale in Championship and Cup:
“Panathinaikos lost a lot of points, they were way ahead. PAOK and Olympiacos came close. AEK shows that it is in good momentum but has not clarified anything. I leave it open, there are derbies, he has time, it’s not over. In the Cup we will probably see an AEK-PAOK final”.
