Theme overall defense function of Panathinaikouwhich, combined with Alberto’s deformation Brignoli it also cost Peristeri yesterday, while a failure to improve may even cost him the title, Nikos Athanasiou said through News Bulletin 247.
“Panathinaikos once again paid for its poor defensive function. That’s the reality, we’ve gotten away with reading that it’s because he’s more productive this year. When, for example, last year he had conceded 12 goals in the whole season and this year he already has that number… Of course, individual mistakes play a big role, as Brignoli did yesterday. The Italian is in a bad mood, he could have come out to clean up the situation in the second goal, while in the third goal, I’m out, I’m not out, he allowed Robbie to score. Panathinaikos’ problem is not Brignoli alone, by no means. It also has to do with the responsibility of the coach, as Jovanovic is credited for the good, we must also say the bad with sobriety and arguments. The problem of Panathinaikos is not psychological above all, but how it behaves on the grass. He is in a deep competitive crisis, because he has lost three of his last four games, he has conceded ten goals. If he doesn’t improve defensively, I don’t see how he will be able to contend for the championship“, he said among other things.
The station’s reporter pointed out that the Schenkefeld-Gedvai duo clearly does not seem to fitwith the Dutchman in a downward spiral and the image of the second so far has not helped the “greens” at all.
At the same time, Athanasiou pointed out that perhaps he should to make braver decisions for some positions by the coach of Panathinaikos and to strengthen in January.
While he commented that the “clover” is called to rally, to… clear his mind, the whole organization united to take the “double” in Volos which is a one-way street and to improve his score collection and his psychology, until the derby with AEK.
