Positive dress rehearsal for Aris, anxious for Brambetz!

With the best possible psychology, Aris will go to the official ceremony! Toli Terzi’s team prevailed 3-1 of of Ethniko Achnas in “Kl. Vikelidis”, in her last friendly before the games in the 2nd qualifier of the Conference League.

In a match where the Thessalonians keep quite a few things. Both in terms of certain competitive elements – such as the production of phases and finals (14 finals, twice as many as their opponents) – and on an individual level. And this because several of his new acquisitions stood out, such as Saverio, Carlson and -mainly- o Zul. The Cameroonian midfielder helped with his runs, at the same time giving the opportunity to Darida and Rupp to take more offensive initiatives and press the area.

Of course, at the same time in Aris there is intense concern with the condition of Jakub Brambetz, who left with an injury, while more will be known on Friday (21/7) when he will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the damage.

The match:

Even if Aris was trying to find his footing at the beginning of the match, he was the one who opened the scoring. Specifically, at 13′ The Palm chased the phase, stole the ball and smashed it to the all-alone Rswho had no trouble pushing her into the net.

However, in 18′ his injury took place Brambetz. A development that seemed to affect the Thessalonians. On the one hand, they showed that they were losing their concentration, on the other hand, Aidonis, who came in his place, could not adapt quickly.

Aris also failed to capitalize on the momentum of the goal. He threatened in the 30th minute through a set-piece and Fabiano’s shot in development and in the 33rd minute when Menendez cut in nicely to Gray, whose diagonal shot missed the net. Instead, the latter managed to score at 45’+2′when after his terrible balls Daridacame out in a four-a-four position and scored 2-0 with a double effort.

The hosts started with six changes in the second half, with both teams quickly finding a goal each.

Home at 51′ The Darida he scored with tremendous energy outside the area and specifically with a shot after first being freed with a sharp dribble. While, in 54′ Elias responded with an excellent long shot as well.

The “yellows” were not only universally superior, but also created several phases. Something, which was helped by the active Saverio, Christodoulopoulos and Karslon. But without changing anything in the score.

The composition of Mars: Houtesiotis – Odubatzo (46′ Embakata), Fabiano, Brambetz (18′ Aidonis), Matarita (46′ Ferrari) – Zoul (58′ Pavicic), Darida (56′ Doucouret), Rupp (46′ Djurasek) – Menendez (46′ Carlson), Gray (46′ Christodoulopoulos), Palma (46′ Saverio) ).
