Demis: “Jovanovic wiped out Villarreal’s advantage – Ioannidis is consistently better”

His eulogy Ivan Jovanovich knitted o Demis Nikolaidis on his show on News Bulletin 247 conversing with him Bye Tsuchika for yesterday’s victory of Panathinaikos over Villarreal.

As mentioned by Jovanovic he was the one who essentially won the match, claiming that o Panathinaikos with his proper teamwork – which is due to his coach – managing to eliminate the advantage that the Spanish team had.

“The quality of Villarreal’s players exploded. What I remember from the game is that Jovanovic won the match. A team that was superior in quality managed to wipe out that advantage. The proper teamwork of Panathinaikos neutralized the quality of Villarreal and so Panathinaikos got an easy win and that is a great achievement.

We have seen Jovanovic play in the Champions League. I was not impressed by how Panathinaikos went down. We have seen Jovanovic with APOEL as well. Panathinaikos had this element in the championship”he reported and then stood on his goal Fotis Ioannidis…

“I like these goals, like Fotis’ goal. I had talked to him. He is cool and chill. Something a striker needs. Ioannidis showed from the way he was playing, that he was cool and is constantly getting better and now he is passing well, taking part in the game. It leaves the area empty which an attacker must do so that others can enter it“, he emphasized.

Demis Nikolaidis – also – commented on the clearly better image that Mandini has with Panathinaikos compared to the one he had with Aris.

“I like Mancini’s development at Panathinaikos. He is calm at Panathinaikos and is now very focused on the game. And now this is how his quality and his great ability are seen, something that was not seen on Mars. Cherin and Kotsiras were infallible. I’ve said it before about Sporar. He has a resume you can’t ignore. I also notice Bernard who especially this year is even better and Palasios as well. I notice how they listen to their coach”.
