The derby with Olympiakos is now a thing of the past for him Panathinaikoswho turns his attention to last two games of the regular season of the championship.
The “greens”, who, we remind you, have two days offin order to recharge his batteries and return to training from tomorrow (03/01), they now put in first shot initially Monday’s match against Panaitolikos in Leoforos and then Sunday’s match against Atromitos in Peristeri.
In “clover” they know very well that the grade in “C. Karaiskakis” was very important, precisely because they were not on a good day at all. His players Ivan Jovanovich they fully understand that their performance was not what it should have been in the last two games against Agriniotes and Peristeriotes the goal is not only “two out of two”, but also improvement ahead, of course, of the playoffs.
The same, moreover, was also emphasized by Tasos Nikologiannis in last night’s report on News Bulletin 247.
“The goal is for Panathinaikos to get two wins against Panaitolikos and Atromitos and then see what will happen with AEK. As the situation is, you have Olympiakos at +5 and from there on or will be a little ahead or a little behind AEK with the start of the playoffs“, he initially emphasized.
Regarding Saturday’s derby at “G. Karaiskakis” and the 0-0 with Olympiakos, Nikologiannis emphasized that he saw the entire game again, making the following remarks:Panathinaikos was very bad in the second half. He lacked concentration, self-confidence and inability to cope with the pressing of Olympiakos, making many individual mistakes. In the first half, however, for a quarter to twenty minutes he had him absolute control, but he didn’t do the phases, which he should have done. At the same time, Olympiacos had the crossbar and the Kanos phase, which, however, might not have counted, if we had scored, for offside. The image of Panathinaikos in the second 45 minutes was problematic for me. I waited for him to react, but he just kept getting worse. Let’s say here that the presence of Puchach was very good, who did have some issues in defense, but offensively he had tremendous energy and tremendous confidence».
And he added:Two things bothered me: In the defensive part, the easy mistakes in the pressure of Olympiakos and in the offensive part, that many times he could have come out on the back of the defense, with Olympiacos very high, but he did not do it or he did it in the wrong way. He could have taken more chances.”
