He spoke for everyone and everything Nicholas Hoult in Sweden!
His former player Panathinaikou and her AEK he mentioned in a podcast of the Scandinavian country the difficult moments he experienced when he changed “camp” in the winter transfer period of 2018, but also his successful selection as it turned out, after winning the championship, the presence in two Greek Cup finals and his presence, in the Champions League groups.
“We appealed against Panathinaikos and agreed with AEK. The alternative was for me to stay at Panathinaikos. I knew then that it wouldn’t be good, that it would be hell for me to go back there, with what was happening with the fans, because there were reactions” were Hult’s first words.
About the reactions on his face when he was presented by AEK: “It wasn’t that I was reading them. I tried to keep a low profile on instagram. It was heavy, it was difficult, in the sense that you felt like you were afraid to go out. My wife wasn’t scared at first, but then she was, especially at away games. Nothing happened. Of course some people shouted at me at one point when I was out, but nothing happened».
As for whether he moved house, he said: “I changed. I felt it was time to do it».
On whether the team took steps to protect him: “No. If I had asked or wanted it, I believe it would have been done. I had Martin Dallin as my manager at the time and he asked me if I wanted help, but we didn’t feel it was needed. It was mostly threats on Instagram and things like that, we felt like until something was done where it could, we’d keep a low profile».
For the fact that it benefited him competitively, as he won the championship: “At the beginning I felt that the transfer wouldn’t happen, maybe I didn’t really want to do it, because you don’t go from Panathinaikos to AEK. Especially when Panathinaikos is a historically bigger team. At that time, however, AEK had a very good team. I went and we won the league and we went to two cup finals in the three years I was there. We managed to qualify for the Champions League groups. It was like… jackpot in football terms, it was amazing. The years I stayed at AEK, and I lived outside of Athens, were fantastic. It was all amazing when things calmed down».
