The constant problem he shows in the defensive part against quality teams o Panathinaikosbut also the fact that he has made progress to get back to his size in Europe, he commented on his “air” News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.
“When you go to play such an important game against such a quality team like Rennes, you have to get close to perfect. Don’t make the slightest mistake. When in the 9th minute Panathinaikos is behind the biggest mistake of his career – always his best – Brinioli, there is a problem. He was lucky and got the ultimate in one phase, with Ioannidis, with a penalty, an expulsion and a goal. From 35′ to 65′, the greens were very poor creatively, lacking passes, quick partnerships, or quality energy. Panathinaikos faces significant problems in the defensive transition against quality teams, it has been seen during the season. After 2-1, he disappeared from the field. Vilena took a cheap penalty and after that we don’t have anything else to talk about. We should always not forget where Panathinaikos was and where it is. Everything is done step by step, seven years were away from the European competitions. What he has achieved this year for his size may be a drop in the ocean, but the past doesn’t count. Today matters, we don’t compare what he has done in the past“, he said among other things.
At the same time, the reporter of the station emphasized that, since the format of the game changed and the “clover” was entirely above the midfield, Ivan Jovanovic should have thrown in the match at halftime Arao instead of Reubenbut also if Cherin stayed on the field afterwards, with Vilena being the change.
Athanasiou pointed out that in order to have hopes of qualifying for the “32” of the Europa League, he should reach 10 points, but the most realistic scenario is to continue in the Conference League.
While he noted that the “greens” are obliged to get the victory against Kifissia, to return the good psychology and stay at the top of the standings by a good distance.
