The coach of the podium: Apollon injured AEK, as he did not expect

He put the brakes on AEK of the four consecutive victories Apollon, with 2-2 in Rizoupoli and his “coach of the podium” column sport-fm.gr stands on five key points of the fight.

Lack of efficiency. The game for AEK went awry towards the end of the first half, when Ioannidis equalized. Although it could have happened sooner. Also, the “yellow-blacks” could have avoided this development, if they had laid a stronger foundation for victory. This did not happen because they did not take advantage of them good moments (with the most typical example being Araujo’s tet-a-tet), which they had.

Lack of duration. AEK followed the now well-known recipe. He entered the game very strongly, put a lot of pressure on the opponent, especially until he opened the score and pushed it into his area. He had a lot of runs during this time and was rewarded through Garcia. Gradually he dropped the turns noticeably until the break, while generally he had a lot fluctuations in its performance. Her good intervals were from the beginning to 25 ‘, but also from 72’ (when Amrabat entered) until the end. These important gaps that were mediated, were paid dearly by the team of Argyris Giannikis. It is something that happened in the games of PAS (without comparing in sizes and situations). He always entered the field strongly and when he opened the score or brought the game to his measures he usually achieved his goal. Otherwise…

Apollon’s attack hurt AEK’s defense. The scenario for the “Light Brigade” to “hit” the Union through its attack did not gather the most chances before the game, nor were they even many. The hosts have six goals in nine games. Both of them were scored in tonight’s game. In four home matches had scored as many goals as he scored today, scoring against the vulnerable Volos and against PAS. He did not succeed against Ionikos and Asteras. You do not need, however, to sift through Apollon’s statistics to see that AEK’s defense did not catch the… base today. Those who watched the match understood it easily.

In shallow water, Chuber put his touch on Abrabat. The Swiss ace was on a bad night against Apollon and that cost AEK. Although he had the vertical in the four-a-four of Araούjo (29 ‘) and the nice dribble in 34’, but for most of the match (he played throughout the game) he was useless. In the second part, in fact, it was completely lost. Apart from the match with Aris, where he was still not good, we are used to him at much higher standards. He is so far the MVP of the Union and today he did not help her to come off.

At the same time, he showed again the class of o Moroccan. Playing without much training on his feet (he returned to normal on Thursday), he put his touch again in AEK matches. In another game gave a ready goal, having come to an end and helped at least save his team. Great luxury for the “yellow-blacks” to get so many things consistently from a player coming from their bench…

Kotsaris is standing. For the positive result against AEK, Apollon owes a lot to his scorers (Pavlidis and Ioannidis), but also to Kotsaris. In another game, the 25-year-old goalkeeper was determinant. He did some bad outings, but he kept his team when he was back in the score, culminating in face to face of Araouchos at 0-1. He was not considered a key player at the beginning of the season, but he is one of the most stable players of Apollon now
