The coach of the podium: The space Aitor, the missing stoppers and the… bra-de-fer

THE Panathinaikos turned the Athenian derby with AEK in a performance for a role, prevailing with the emphatic 3-0. A victory that puts not only the “clover” on the playoffs, but also a direct claim for the third place.

The podium coach points out the key points from the game:

Aitor from another planet: Without any discussion, Aitor Kandalapiedra was the footballer who made the difference on the Avenue. He scored, making it 1-0, gave an assist as he “served” the 3-0 to Ioannidis, while he also had a crossbar, in the direct corner kick that he attempted in 44 ‘! In general, he made a solid appearance, helping a lot in carrying the ball, but also covering areas when needed. The Spaniard counts 5 goals this year, all in the last two months, while he also counts 5 assists being the first in the relevant list.

The missing defense of AEK: Tzavellas and Vranies probably played their worst game with the yellow and black jersey as a “couple” in the center of defense. In general, the defensive quartet was. Wrecked and surrendered to the appetites of the midfield of Panathinaikos, being in all three goals. The first goal comes from a stupid penalty by Rota, in the second Palacios passes Tzavellas like a cone, in the third the stoppers lose Ioannidis. Hadjisafi also suffered a lot, with the heaviest weight falling on the stoppers that were bad.

Gacinovic “sweetens” him, Perez “hardens” him: The use of Gacinovic in the starting lineup beautifies Panathinaikos and gives him extra speed in the transition, but also confidence in the transfers. In combination with the toughness that Ruben Pereth shows on the field, the “greens” have an ideal axis that is framed by the strength, speed and… bass of Alexandropoulos. Panathinaikos brought freshness and quality to the axis, against footballers who were “wanted”.

Sakhov lad: If nothing else, Yevgeny Sakhov needs a huge round of applause from everyone. Because every Ukrainian footballer who has his family in his country and manages to play, then deserves everyone’s respect Σά Sakhof’s pregnant wife is in a shelter in Kiev and is in danger, the Ukrainian midfielder knew it but fought. He sent his message before the match and in the end he was one of the few with a good performance for Giannikis’ team.

Jovanovic-Giannikis scored an ace from half time: Jovanovic knew that the axis of AEK is problematic and τον loaded him with speed and footballers who can carry the ball and touch it correctly to their teammates. At the same time, he used the “strong” Ioannidis at the top, who got along with Vranies, Tzavella and was justified in not starting Carlitos in this match. At the same time, Giannikis was caught asleep. He knows that he did not have Simanski, Gevtic at his disposal, while he chooses not to start Hadjisafi, Mandalo, Araujo. For the latter, let’s admit that he may not have been able to play the whole match as he was recovering from injury, but the other two remained on the bench and their absence was evident. He corrected it at halftime by throwing all three in the match, but it was too late and with a heavy 3-0 in the back…

The bra de fer for the trinity: This three-pointer brought Panathinaikos to -3 from AEK and the third place. Yes, the Union owes a match, but on the other hand it is against PAOK and it is not at all certain that it will win, while in the last match it has another difficult game with Asteras Tripolis. Undoubtedly, the away final of Panathinaikos with Atromitos can be characterized as more passable. Even with a distance of 4 or 6 points for the Union to finally manage to enter the playoffs, then no one can characterize it as a favorite to occupy the third place based on its image this year. Especially when he will give 10 matches with the “good” teams of the league. It is, of course, that until the final we will have a huge bra-de-fer for the trio…
