Marseille’s good defensive organization and missed second-half chances cost the AEK something better in yesterday’s match for the Europa League, as pointed out by Kostas Ketsetzoglou to News Bulletin 247.
“Marseille were very well organized in defense and kept AEK at bay. In the Marseille goal, the zone defense did not work and Athanasiadis neither came out nor came out. In the second half he had 2-3 good moments, with Garcia, Gacinovic and Mandalo. Athanasiadis kept AEK in the game with the save on Vitinia’s projection. After the changes, he pressed, did some phases and stepped on it at the end, as happened with Antwerp“, he said.
“Perhaps the victory in Brighton made us forget how difficult the overall task is. But AEK will be alive for the Conference until the last matchday and that is important. What he wants now is for Ajax not to win in Marseille. He has a good chance of going for two results in Amsterdam. He will fight all games, as he has done so far“, he added.
Regarding the match with Lamia, he said:Garcia came out because he wanted to keep him for 90 minutes. It made sense to protect him. I don’t know if he will play on Sunday. A win is needed and in the break Rota and Jonsson will be fine, so then they will all be available for the league and Europe».
