After the definitive finale of the regular season, the Stoiximan Super League enters its final stretch with the playoffswhich start with 4 groups (PAOK, AEK, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos) within a very short distance of each other in the battle for the title.
Commenting on him Panathinaikos on NOVA’s “Monday FC” show, o Demis Nikolaidis he referred to what brought his draw with OFI (2-2), but also to the fact that the “greens” are in danger of staying out of league with a defeat by Olympic in the first match of the playoffs.
What he said in detail:
For OFI-Panathinaikos: “Panathinaikos was better than other matches, they lost the first 20 minutes again. From OFI, Meyados was good, he must have made 20 steals, Panathinaikos was surprised. PAO started to play after falling behind in the score, created opportunities, but conceded phases-goals that cost and are easy. There is no foul on the first goal, correct marking. OFI was not better, Panathinaikos was much better. The goals that could have been scored were not scored.”
For the playoffs draw: “If Olympiacos beats Panathinaikos, it throws them out of the league. Panathinaikos managed to reach a point where, if they lose in a derby, the defeat will be painful. If I put 25% on everyone for the championship, if PAO lose, their chances will drop a lot. Points were lost with teams that are better.”
