Athanasiou: “With a clear mind in defense and attack, Panathinaikos can start with three points”

The data they will give to Panathinaikos the three points against Villarreal, making a special mention to clean mind and detailshe underlined through News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.

“All of Panathinaikos moves to the rhythm of the match against Villarreal, which in 2009 had a great qualification to the OAKA. Of course, there had been a massacre of Panathinaikos in the Madrigal. Going back to today, it has the second worst defense in the Spanish league, without wanting to say that we are talking about an easy match and all the… Greek conclusions. This is one of the key points, to have the right decisions and the clear mind to produce as many phases as possible. If he does and shows the consistency he has in the Greek league, Panathinaikos will have taken an important step to start with three points. As we see Villarreal, Panathinaikos will create chances, but they will also have to be careful in defense. As cliché as it sounds, small details make all the difference at this level. Panathinaikos now has 23 players, if not equal, with the substitutes just a click behind. No matter who is missing, there is a solution in every position, which can be seen on the pitch as well. It may not have the superstars in the 11, but the team in Panathinaikos is what makes the difference, as is the work of the coach“, he characteristically said.

At the same time, when asked about the 11 of the “greens”, the reporter of the station pointed out that it will consist of Brignoli, Kotsiras, Schenkefeld, Magnuson, Mladenovic, Ruben, Bernard, Palacios, Mancini, together with one of Arao, Cerin and Vilena – with dominant the first two– and Ioannidis or Sporar, probably the second one.
