Athanasiou: “Jovanovic’s Panathinaikos is a team with character – Mancini did justice”

by

For a footballing injustice, which was however rectified by Mancini’s goal, which almost suffered Panathinaikos in Braga but in the end he stayed alive in the qualification case, he spoke to his “air”. News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.

It would be a shame and unfair for Panathinaikos not to score yesterday and even more so to lose this game 2-0 or even 3-0. Brignoli reminded us of the value of having a very tall goalkeeper, with a save in the back-to-back with Lopez. He firmly re-entered the group stage. He learned his lesson I think, at this level you can’t make mistakes like Jedvai’s at 2-0, or Sporar’s missed chance for 1-1. Panathinaikos entered the second half hypnotized, it’s not only the goal they conceded, but Mancini’s goal in the final did football justice“, he noted among other things.

The reporter of the station emphasized that, with the image that Ioannidis has in the matches against Marseille and also yesterday, the fairest thing would be for him to return to the 11 of the “greens”.

At the same time, Athanasiou pointed out that, thanks to the excellent mentality of Jovanovic and his players, Panathinaikos fights the games until the last minute, believing that it can turn them around and not give up.

Asked about the game with Volos ahead of the rematch with Braga and the rotation Jovanovic will make, he noted that he sees 4-5 changes to the starting formation of the “trefoil”, now having the depth and options to do so.

While he referred both to the looming sell out in the August 29 match at the Olympic stadium and to Arao’s debut with Panathinaikos.
