In that the qualification for AEK was not lost in its defeat by Ajax in Amsterdam, stood o Demis Nikolaidis talking to him Hello Tsuchika on his “Fair Play” show News Bulletin 247.
The veteran ace repeated that the “yellow and black” cost the two home games against Ajax and Marseille. At the same time, he emphasized that Matias Almeida he did well and made his team play as he knows how to win the game. “This is AEK and Almeida“, he pointed out.
Commenting on his mistakes George Athanasiadisexplained that a coach cannot calculate such unlucky moments, adding that if the Greek goalkeeper had been on a better day, the result might have been different.
“I saw the AEK that we all know. He didn’t go to change it, he came in to take the match. It was a very rock game, but we like it. It is dangerous. For me he wasn’t lost at Ajax, but in the two home games against Marseille and Ajax that he didn’t get what he deserved. Defensive errors cost her. Ajax was more widely read. He started to come to his senses. Hit AEK where it hurts.
This is AEK and this is Almeida. He can’t easily do what he did at Brighton, give away spaces, it might have happened. It worked well for me. Maybe if the goalkeeper had been on a better day, there would have been a different result. He was unlucky in these two phases. These cannot be calculated by a coach.
Logic may tell us that this is very risky, but it does good. He doesn’t change his style, not because he’s headstrong, but because the team he’s built like that can play, with pros and cons“, initially stated Demis.
As far as if the next day is different in AEK and Panathinaikos after their exclusions, he noted: “Yes, they have the first say for the championship. Tell me they didn’t have him before? Maybe yes, but now they don’t have the European games either, they will focus on the domestic goals. They have such foundations, good coaches, we won’t see any turmoil».
