Qualification step will have done Panathinaikos with a win against Maccabi Haifa the day after tomorrow, while a potential draw will… do for him, as he mentioned on his “air” News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.
“The match against Maccabi is one of those we call six points. If we look at the general picture of the group, in the draw we said that Panathinaikos wants to take 3rd place. After the premiere he is at +3 and if he does not lose on Thursday, with a positive result, he will have a good chance to secure the 3rd place. If he makes the 2X2 go for big things, he will top the group. Then the conversation changes, it makes perfect sense for him to aim and look at even first place. Maccabi Haifa is coming off a win, has an issue defensively, is in a transition period but in no way does it mean that Panathinaikos can underestimate them“, he said about it.
The station’s reporter noted that apart from Magnusson and Palmer-Brown, all the other players will travel normally on the mission to Israel, since the “clover” will train there normally on Friday.
Regarding the Panathinaikos XI, Athanasiou pointed out that he expects changes in the midfield, where most likely Reuben will returnbut also that we might see him in defense Mladenovic instead of Juancar.
At the same time, commenting on the sharp position of Kyriakos Kyriakos and… not only, he mentioned how Jovanovic has taught ethics in the three years he has been in Greecehas never spoken bad words about an opposing team or a coach, but he cannot allow Lucescu to disparage the “greens” so much and so often and probably… he was late to answer (him).
