Ketsetzoglou: “Terrible mistakes cost AEK – It’s unacceptable to have so many people around the benches”

For the serious mistakes that for the umpteenth time the AEK at the end of a match stood o Kostas Ketsetzoglou commenting through it News Bulletin 247 the defeat by PAOK (3-2).

“AEK has lost 5 points to PAOK in 89′ and 90′. That says it all. Yesterday PAOK had xGoals 1 and scored 3 and AEK has xGoals 2.20 and scored 2. The team showed its superiority straight away, until 40′ they completely dominated but could not take the lead. In the second half I understand that he aimed to go and hit the game at the end, when the opponent would go ahead to win. He found the goal with Vida and you could see that Toumba was ‘off’ and PAOK was not threatening. But then came this incredible blunder, which for me is 90% the responsibility of Callens and not so much Athanasiadis, to make it 2-2. This goal turned the whole game around, PAOK believed that miracles happen and after Athanasiadis conceded a corner for no reason it was 3-2. The biggest responsibility there is that of Jonsson, who does not pull with the rest of the defense to take the PAOK player offside who also makes contact with the ball. I think the changes were correct, even though they didn’t help. PAOK did not exert any great pressure, nor did they have many opportunities. But the point is that the game was lost because of these terrible mistakes“, he emphasized.

As for the follow-up, he said:AEK will find out who its opponent is in the championship before going to the ‘C. Karaiskakis’. If PAOK wins, AEK will want a victory in Faliro, if Olympiacos wins in Toumba, a draw will also help them. With a draw in Toumba, they will essentially be champions by beating Lamia in the last game».

Finally, he mentioned the episode in the finale with Matias Almeida in the spotlight. “He himself has apologized for his reaction. Yesterday there were 30 people around the counter and in the end Almeida found himself among so many people, pulling and pushing him. It is an unacceptable image that we have not seen in any stadium. Even in ‘G. Karaiskakis’ last year when Marinakis was kicking balls, there was no involvement with the opposing bench».
