The Europa League looks like a small… Champions League and this was confirmed after yesterday’s draw.
Villarreal, Rennes and Maccabi Haifa were the three teams that together with Panathinaikos make up the 6th group. A group that brings mixed feelings when listening to it. On the one hand, the “greens” have to face three strong teams, on the other hand there is no one that stands out by… kilometers and a huge battle is expected between the four for the three tickets. Obviously, Ivan Jovanovic’s team showed in the series of matches against Dnipro, Marseille and Braga that they have no opponent to fear.
Before the European matches, however, that of the championship takes precedence. Because o Panathinaikos it is tested on Sunday in… inhospitable Yannenawhere he will face him PAS. A team that has made an excellent start, counting 4 points in 2 matches, while always at home making it difficult for the “greens”, who last season got past “Zosimades” and broke a… curse of six years.
THE Jovanovic he is not expected to make a big rotation, since after this game there is a break for the national teams and the footballers will have the opportunity to recharge their batteries.
The most important thing is for him to go Panathinaikos calm at the break, having gone 2/2 in the league (with the determination of the match with Atromitos pending). Then he will focus on the away match with Panetolicowhere he will pick up the pace again after the restart and then turn to the first European clash.
Nikologiannis: Panathinaikos must turn the button – There won’t be so much rotation in Ioannina
The need for Panathinaikos to put aside the discussion about Europe and go completely focused on the match against PAS was emphasized by Tasos Nikologiannis to bwinSPORT FM. What did he say about the rotation?
