Pagakis: “Panathinaikos should follow the Maccabi recipe with Olympiakos”

Plan… Maccabi, who managed to surprise Olympiacos and leave Faliro victorious, will have to implement the Panathinaikos in tonight’s derby at “G. Karaiskakis”, as he pointed out to News Bulletin 247 The Nikos Pagakis.

“This is the final derby for Panathinaikos. These matches suit him a lot, because the opponent will open up to score. The issue is how effective he will be in defense, because I think he will manage to score. The recipe for victory will be to follow what Maccabi did on Thursday. He needs to start from the defense and have a good offensive transition and take advantage of his chances, because if he gets ahead he will increase his chances of winning. The defense is the key, in the attack I think he will find a goal. Panathinaikos will have to block the Olympiakos trio in the center and pay attention to the form of El Kaabi, while they can hit Rodney defensively, as Maccabi did“, he emphasized.

Regarding the eleven, he said:We expect Arao to play stopper with Hugo, but it is not unlikely that the former will move to midfield. The most likely, however, is to see the two Brazilians in the center of defense, with Mladenovic and Kotsiras in the back role. In the center we will see Zeka or Perez, with Bakaseta and Cerin next to him and Ioannidis in front, supported by Bernard and Palacios, without excluding Mancini».
