Nikologiannis: “If Panathinaikos wins against Rennes, it erases the defeat at Leoforo”

For what happened in winning match of Panathinaikos against Lamia, but also about the turn, now, in the game against Rennes, in France, spoke Tasos Nikologiannis to News Bulletin 247.

First of all, for the Manucho’s mistake in the phase with the expulsion of Arao, the reporter of the “greens” emphasized: “Manouhos made a very big mistake with Arao’s red. A correction must be made and VAR can intervene in a second yellow and not only in a straight red».

For the satisfaction of the reaction and the victory over Lamia: “At Panathinaikos, there is also satisfaction in reacting to a bad day. The next day, combined with the other results, it became clear how important the victory was. Panathinaikos is the winner of the competition. These “small and medium” games give you an advantage if you have no losses in the regular duration. The team has been successful so far, but will have to continue at the same pace. Even on their bad day the team scored two goals. There is a concern about the inhibitory function. In the first phase this will be dealt with by the training sessions».

On the turnaround in the Rennes game: “It is a very important game. Panathinaikos plays a significant part of the chances for the first two places. First of all he must not lose. If he wins, he will have erased Leoforos’ defeat. It is a very difficult match. I think Rennes have gotten little of what they deserve in the standings in France. It takes twice as much attention».

For racing: “Ivan Jovanovic is not expecting a comeback. There will definitely be changes. It is possible that we will see Bernard from the beginning. Verbic is not on the European list. I believe that Palasios will also play in this match. The team will have 1500 fans on his side. There is a lot of demand for Villarreal as of now. People want to be with the team».
