THE Panathinaikos is walking by himself and if he wins this year’s championship, it will be because he deserves it with what he does on the grass, despite EPO jokes in the part of the referees’ definitions and the two “pistols” he has eaten, according to what he claimed in News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.
“Regarding the war of announcements, let me say that if Panathinaikos had indeed made an unholy alliance with Olympiacos as accused by AEK, then on the one hand it would not have exercised a veto on the League finding referees through Marinakis, on the other hand it would not have issued an announcement when again Liga had positioned itself against AEK, stressing that it does not agree. These two alone show that there is no alliance, if Panathinaikos wins this year’s championship, it will have been done on the grass, with the work of Jovanovic and his players. If there is a team that has every reason to shout in the playoffs but does not, and correctly in my opinion only deals with football and intervenes when necessary, it is Panathinaikos. He has eaten two pistols already in the playoffs. It’s funny how the EPO defines it“, he characteristically commented.
The station’s reporter also stopped by very good, overall, suspension function of the “greens”, pointing out: “In these eight games, over two months, in which they have kept zero, Panathinaikos has greatly limited the quality opportunities of their opponents. His average expected opposition goals is 0.65 and shows us that he doesn’t concede goals because his blocking behavior isn’t just limited to defense. They are a team that press high, try to recover possession immediately, have runs and all this is reflected in their very effective defense».
While commenting on the issue of Polish referees, Athanasiou noted that they are wish project that a serious organization like UEFA will deal with and we will find out what happened.
