Petropoulos: “AEK and Panathinaikos should not be afraid”

The opinion that the AEK and Panathinaikos they can get results against the two French teams playing today, said Antonis Petropoulos. The veteran footballer spoke to News Bulletin 247 and Sotiris Tabakos about today’s matches between our teams.

“AEK is pushing hard enough. In just a few games he has lost the identity he has given the team. I expect him to push today as well, not to be afraid of the match. Marseille have very good players but AEK should not be afraid. If he gets a positive result and wins then he will have taken a big step towards qualification. I expect a match with a good pace“, were his words about AEK and he continued talking about the greens.

“PAO can also claim and win. I think he shouldn’t be afraid of the match either. Panathinaikos knows it is an opportunity and will claim it.

Both our teams have a steady course. Their coaches fill out their teams and rosters properly in the summer and take them one step further. Olympiacos has suffered a defeat from PAOK but they can and must react. And PAOK won away from home, maybe even today.”

For their games Olympiakou and PAOK commented:

“After a heavy defeat in Greece you quickly want another match. Olympiacos will react. Martinez is trying to build a team with an identity, but he still hasn’t tied the team, all the players together. There is pressure and results, and unfortunately they are teams that don’t wait long for managers.

PAOK has a coach who knows the team. If he wins today he has secured qualification. I don’t think he’ll have a problem, he’ll have an easy night. PAOK also produces young players, which is important.”

Finally, talk about him Tilycratis of Lefkada in which he holds the position of technical director…

“They are an organized team, and they have the basics that many teams lack. We take steady steps forward. I consider it an opportunity for me and I will try to raise it to a level.”
