The Fatih Terim era in Panathinaikos began with all solemnity on Wednesday, with the “clover” to beat PAS Ioannina 2-0 in Leoforo for the 16th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
THE Turkish technician, having managed to train his new team for a few days, sat on their bench for the first time in the match against Epirotes. So, as is easily understood, he has not had time to pass his philosophy to the desired extent and will need one reasonable interval for this to happen. Some evidence, however, of the gameplay he wants to see was seen.
THE 70 year old coach does not want to present a completely different Panathinaikos. After all, it is not easy for something like this to happen in the middle of the season, while he recognizes that he took over a team, which in the league has good results and for this reason is very close to the top.
THE Fatih Terim he wants to make the “clover” more productive, for his team to take more risks and he is logical “let’s make more opportunities, risking to give some more» (compared to the ones he has received so far), as he mentioned and Tasos Nikologiannis to News Bulletin 247. Against PAS Ioannina, Panathinaikos had their lines high, even after their second goal and it is not something that happened by chance. The Turkish coach wants his team to be high on the field with the lines close to each other, while he asks for tension in their game, making intense pressing and high inside the pitch. He also asks his full-backs to get high up the pitch.
These are generally the basic elements that Terim wants in the first reading and Panathinaikos tried to bring out most of them in the first game under his guidance, while some of them will come out on the field soon.
