Three days after the meeting and the draw (0-0) for the quarterfinals of the Cup at “Kleanthis Vikelidis”, Aris and Lamia stayed again at “White” tie in Thessaloniki, this time in the context of Super League 1.
A game which hardly confirmed the competitive “crisis” in which the “yellow-blacks” are in 2022, staying for the fourth consecutive match without a win, but also without a goal for something more from 360 racing minutes.
On the other hand, the team of Michalis Grigoriou, not only stood worthy against a superior opponent, but rightly should feel wronged by the result.
In detail, the key points from the “coach of the podium”:
-Large problems in creation and final energy:
Repeated coincidence ceases to be coincidence…
This saying fits a “glove” on New Year’s Mars, who failed for the fourth game in a row to find the way to the nets. And if in the Cup game, Aris created several opportunities and in fact he only missed the goal, today the situation was completely different with his heartbreaking appearance.
It is not only the fact that he finished the game with fewer finals than Lamia (8 vs. 10), but what matters is the “quality” of these efforts. Akis Mantziou’s team had a big problem in the creation, which is why most of its opportunities came either from set phases or from long shots. Even the entry of Abubakar Kamara in the second half – a few days after his participation in the Copa Africa – could not help Aris to “fill” the opponent’s area and threaten with demands.
-Lack of concentration and image… resignation:
The defense of Mars and in general the overall inhibitory function of the “yellow-blacks” was exposed in several cases. The midfielders had difficulty in intercepting the players of Lamia, something that resulted in the guests coming out several times in the counterattack. Of course, the central defensive duo of Fabiano-Brabets also had several problems.
However, what is impressive is the fact that as time passed, Aris seemed to run out of mental reserves… Despite the shuffling of the “deck” by Akis Mantzio and the strengthening of the midfield, the hosts remained harmless.
-Lamia played its game and sent a message in view of the Cup:
Undoubtedly, Lamia was the one who won the impressions with her appearance, sending a message to Aris in view of the rematch of the Cup next Wednesday (26/01) in the GDR of Lamia.
Michalis Grigoriou’s team entered the field in order to hit every weakness of the opponent’s defense and to create dangerous moments in the open field.
In the second half in particular, he was not substantially threatened by Aris, closing all the corridors to Saranov’s home, while on the contrary he “touched” the goal in two cases.
