A night that was turning into a… party and the score looked capable of reaching record levels for a European match of AEK (the 6-0 against Grevenmacher remains like that), it became a stressful process in the end, causing irritation to the friends of the team. The 4-0 that became 4-3 against Inter d’Escaldes didn’t… go down like that in the yellow and black dressing room, but it shook everyone up as everyone admitted that Enos had got themselves into trouble by not showing seriousness for 90 minutes, despite only for 60.
According to “Sports Hour”, o Matias Almeida kept his players in the locker room for about an hour after the finale of Wednesday’s match and he sang them to them, because he couldn’t believe that the same mentality that practically cost his team an entire championship last season made its appearance from the first official game of the season against a team from Andorra. The Argentinian coach wants to wake up his players, because Wednesday’s relaxation may not cost his team in the end, but from now on – with the level of opponents ever higher – such mistakes will be forbidden.
The football players, however, did it themselves self-criticism their. In the discussions between themselves, they were irritated by the laxity and childish mistakes that allowed the opponents to score three goals in 18 minutes and declared themselves determined to… cut the fun in the second leg and qualify with a second victory, this time without stress.
The preparation for Thursday’s rematch (19:30) has started without injury problems and the “Union” among others will have to adapt to the special conditions of the rematch, which will take place on plastic turf and at an altitude that affects the unaccustomed football players. Everyone in the ranks of AEK is determined for a win-answer first to themselves, so that they can make an appointment in the 3rd qualifier with Noah from Armenia who destroyed Sliema Wanderers 7-0 yesterday and has already qualified, before the second leg in Malta.
