Panathinaikos: The step up in the roster and Aitor… who came!

THE Panathinaikos finished the first round at the top of the Stoiximan Super League, claiming the unofficial title of winter champion. In yet another highly competitive and demanding season, with matches in Greece and Europe, his team Ivan Jovanovich she seems capable of handling both watermelons under the same arm. An example of the progress made by the “greens”, but also of the overall step up that has taken place in the team.

The approach to the games and the results within the first 13 games show why the Panathinaikos appears in first place. The roster has been upgraded and is clearly upgraded, as a result of which there is a plurality and the Jovanovic to have alternative options to manage each of his games. Even in difficult periods like that of the last two months with the consecutive matches inside and outside the borders, where the “clover” was called upon to deal with the injuries of Magnusson, Palmer-Brownstaying essentially with two pure stoppers.

Its clear improvement and rise Panathinaikou in this season, he has the result of giving birth to protagonists through his games. Aitor’s last two appearances with Villarreal and OFI they came as … icing on the cake for the hard work the Spaniard is doing to get back to last year’s standard. And in the past days, Aitor showed that… he came and now offers extra solutions to Jovanovic.

The same can be said about him Verbich, since the Slovenian, after last year’s bad season, is changed this year. Of course, Panathinaikos expects more from him, but considering and after the goal that qualified his country for Euro 2024, Verbic is doing even better.

In the additions, one can also place him Juancar. His return to action comes to give more depth and add competition to the left end of the defense, while of course the “greens” also need the Spanish full-back in his… good form, since he is one of the top wing defenders in the league.
