Reference point in his European history it was for him Panathinaikos yesterday’s qualification on her Marseilleas Tassos Nikologiannis characteristically commented on his “air”. News Bulletin 247.

“Since 1986, when I have been reporting and watching Panathinaikos, I have never experienced such a qualification, such a thriller. It’s the first time and I also understand people’s feelings. I think it’s one of the top qualifiers, not that he hasn’t done others. Considering how long he’s been away from Europe, the opposition, combined with how the game went yesterday, I think it’s one of the top qualifiers and a thunderous message that he’s coming back to Europe in full force. She had a really big overgrowth yesterday, she’ll need another one. The message is that Panathinaikos is back and its fans can be sure to experience great moments again“, he said among other things.

The reporter of the station noted that the match did not start well for the “clover”, he made a special mention of the hot atmosphere of the “Velodrome” which affected everyone but also Brignoli who kept his team when he had toto come out one… another in the second half and reach the qualification.

While Nikologiannis pointed out that Palacios was the key player yesterdayas yes he could have had some better decisions in the final action, but his presence helped Panathinaikos a lot, just like Bernard.

He focused on the fact that all five of the “green” penalties were taken by substitute players, they were well struck and accurate, which he recommends another success for Ivan Jovanovic.

And he talked about the -another expensive- transfer of Arao to Panathinaikos who comes as a starter and raises the quality vertically, being a midfielder with high technique, dynamic, very good in the high game and a top level player.
