The belief that his 11 Panathinaikou against Botev Plovdiv will not be the same as yesterday’s friendly, for obvious reasons, Nikos Athanasiou expressed to News Bulletin 247.
“We saw a Panathinaikos with two faces. He had a positive image in the first half, mostly for 30 minutes, but also a bad one in the second. A week before an official game you don’t see players putting their feet to the fire. What we hold as a conclusion is that we saw things that were reasonable for the time. Maksimovic was third stopper when Panathinaikos had the ball, I think it is clear what Alonso wants to do with his midfielders, in this 3-6-1. I think it clouded the waters a bit yesterday, for the 11, I don’t think Arao-Vagiannidis will start. It was also seen by the changes he made, giving time to participate to all players. He didn’t fully open his cards. What we will see at the end of August at the 11-team level will be completely different. The most important absence of Panathinaikos in the upcoming matches is Ioannidis”were his words.
Regarding Ioannidis and the new publication from Portugalthe station’s reporter pointed out that the “clover” did not buy the share of the Greek center forward from Levadeiakos in order to sell him, despite only with an unrealistic proposal and if Ioannidis asks to leave.
Making a mini report on the transcripts, Athanasiou characterized as positive the fact that Panathinaikos did upgrade to specific positions and negative that he hasn’t picked up a “key” winger yetto cover the departures of Bernard-Palacios, but neither left back.
While he estimated that today we will learn details about the Season Tickets of the “greens” for the new season, but also the their European list.
