Panathinaikos won 1-0 against Maccabi Netanya in a friendly match between them.
THE Diego Alonso spoke after the game and mentioned, among other things, that today’s match was a dress rehearsal ahead of the European match with Botev Plovdiv.
The statements of the Uruguayan technician:
Was there a dress rehearsal coming up on Thursday?
Undoubtedly it was an opportunity for some players, but at the same time we gave the opportunity to some players like Maksimovic and Mladenovic to be more involved.
He was quite happy after the match with AEK Larnaca, I would like him to make a comment about today’s game, there are some things he wants to improve and the improvement is already in these 3-4 days.
The first 30 minutes tonight was good, we played good football, we pressed, we had attacking actions and we found spaces and from there the traffic started to slow down, we needed more speed at some point. As for the second half, I think it served us much more to be able to see some players and thus slowly prepare the list of players who will be integrated for Europe.
Panathinaikos will be ready for Thursday (25/7) if they have studied the opponent.
We have studied both our opponents, we still don’t know who we will face but I would say that it is difficult to prepare because the time is not much, but what I can say is that we will do the maximum in front of this new game
