THE AEK celebrated a great victory against Panathinaikosin a derby that almost never started at the mercy of attendance pro-Bad Blue Boys banner by the home fans.
Finally, the banner came down immediately, with Costas Galanopoulos stating after the end of the derby that “We want to dedicate this victory to Michalis and his family. May the ball not take them all, but it saddened me that the Panathinaikos fans were chanting slogans for Dinamo Zagreb. Fortunately, there were some who disapproved of this action.”
In addition, he stated that “It was a victory in a game that we also needed to win. Panathinaikos started well in the league and was improving. It was difficult after such a victory to play our game here as well.
We did and we are happy. I feel on the pitch we were a little fresher than Panathinaikos. In most duels we were victorious and that played a role.
We were saddened by the draw with Olympiakos. but we continued with two difficult games. We had two victories in difficult seats. We must continue with this tension. The team has built its own character since last year. Maybe this didn’t happen so often last year. It is the mentality of this team.”
