Pagakis: “Panathinaikos does not want to give up possession to Olympiakos”

by

No disposition to have a passive role in “G. Karaiskakis” does not have Panathinaikosas he explained to News Bulletin 247 The Nikos Pagakis talking about tonight’s derby with Olympiakos.

For Panathinaikos it is important to win, but if it cannot do so, it would be good not to lose. Clearly, however, the goal is victory to make up for the fact that AEK and PAOK did not win. I believe that Panathinaikos can beat Olympiakos on the counter, but also with possession. He will not let the opponent get the ball and close him down in his area. In every match, Jovanovic wants his own team to control the tempo. These matches are won by whoever exudes passion and wants them the most“, he said.

As for the lineup? “Jovanovic has plenty of options with the exception of the stoppers, where due to injuries to Magnusson and Palmer-Brown we know that Senkefeld and Getvai will play. Huancar has the first say on the left, while on the right Kotsiras and Vagiannidis claim the position. I think the latter has a slight lead. I think Arao will definitely play, while Bernard also has a good chance to start in midfield. If Cerin is not considered tired of the matches in Slovenia, he has the first say instead of Vilena. On the right we consider Palasios for sure, while on the left there is Mancini and the choice of Verbic with the former favorite. At the top Ioannidis has a lead due to form but also because Sporar suffered more with his national team».
