His impressions of what AEK has shown at the beginning, was shared by Demis Nikolaidis on his show – the first for the new season – with Hello Tsuchika to News Bulletin 247“FAIR PLAY”.
The veteran ace was initially mentioned in the first halves of the games with the Dinamo Zagreb, explaining why the “Union” was not good during these periods. Afterwards, he stood in the game with her Antwerp and in his coaching Matias Almeidaemphasizing that the “yellow and black” performed very well.
Underline, don’t you, that it suits AEK to play in their own waywhile he concluded that the chances of qualifying on the Belgians is – even a little – in her favor.
“In the two matches against Dinamo, he had two first halves that were not good and there is a reason. In the first match, he entered with a bit of a wait to see which team Dinamo is, while in the second half he entered to play his own game. In the second game, maybe because she had the score, she was a little reserved. In the second half, however, he did everything to turn it around and turned it around because of enthusiasm and the risk he takes.
With Antwerp I saw an AEK throughout the match that was very good. I really liked Almeida’s coaching, his moves and the team in general. From the lineup we saw, we understood that she is going to play her own game. I think that’s how it’s going to go. It suits AEK to play its own game. There will be matches, e.g. in the Champions League, which he may lose. But this team will get the most from the way they play. People like it too. This team never quits. If we have to say where it didn’t go well, it was on the final pass. But AEK broke the defense of Antwerp, but the final pass did not come out. It happens in football.
If I had to give percentages, I would give a little more to AEK. But a little. I think AEK will play well, but it’s a ball.
At the beginning of the new season, Zuber and Araujo have impressed me. Something that AEK has is when they play against an opponent who closes down, too many times they play with crosses. This also requires a bit of luck to score. While he cut back on crosses last year, he also made more passes. It’s not easy. There will always be things the coach can fix“, noted Demis, among other things.
