Almeida’s faith in the final and AEK’s priorities for the next day

THE AEK finished the season in an ideal way by winning the Cup and doing the double. THE Matias Almeida he had in the half-time of the final the opportunity and the time to give detailed tactical instructions to his players, but also to drug them psychologically to complete the task of victory in a match that they played from the sixth minute with ten men.

“I see you very well! I see you can do it! You can take this Cup! This is what I see in you! Come in and do it!“, were the stimulating words of the Argentinian coach to his players. And, indeed, they came back from the dressing room even better and more solid, as they were practically threatened only in Douglas Augusto’s phase throughout the second half.

The players vacation, but the design runs

The vast majority of AEK players have already started their holidays. After all, with the appointment for the medical examinations and the ergometric tests set for June 26, there is not plenty of time for vacations, especially for internationals (Greeks and not only) who will have obligations in mid-June.

The same time, AEK’s planning has been implemented for the new season. Among the priorities for the “Union” are expiring contracts, of Nordin Amrabad and his Giorgos Tzavellas. The former will be discussed and it is not improbable that he will stay, especially if he can overcome a personal issue that temporarily complicated his stay last year. With the second, it is not improbable that he will continue, as the team appreciates his good presence in the few times he had to compete this year, but also his leadership presence in the locker room. His case Orbelin Pineda it is a separate chapter and does not depend on the desire of AEK or the player which are given, but on the… appetites of Telta. It is possible that this matter will drag on for several weeks.

As far as transfers are concerned, the aim is to strengthen the body in certain positions and to gain even more depth, since in the new season there will be a minimum of ten additional games due to Europe. THE Benjamin Kikanovich is a player who has been with the “Union” since last year, with the 23-year-old American winger very much liked by Matias Almeida. The “yellow and black” seem to be approaching the 22-year-old left back of PAS Ioannina, Stavros Peliou. Other players, both from the Greek league and from abroad, are also being watched and employed. However, it is not expected that there will be a similar number of additions as last year, since there is already an excellent trunk.
