Demis: “Alonso deserves time – If Ioannidis played at Ajax he would be even more expensive”

His comment about Panathinaikos in the new season was made on the Novasports channel show, “Monday FC”, by Demis Nikolaidis.

He initially stated that the Diego Alonso he needs time, as a new coach who wants to show his way of playing, while he also talked about him Fotis Ioannidiscommenting on the very large sums that are written that they are willing to give foreign teams for his acquisition.

“He is a new coach and Alonso deserves time, but the people of Panathinaikos have been waiting for many years. The roster of the team is very good, a lot of quality has entered the team, but there is a new coach and it will take several matches for the players to understand the football he plays.

If a player is lucky enough to take over the team, that will give them time with the wins and the results to calm their spirits. Panathinaikos is missing a player with individual energy”he mentioned, among other things, while he then spoke about Fotis Ioannidis, stating that: “He is a centre-forward who scores goals in many ways. For golfers the money is a lot, more than other players. If he played in Holland and Ajax, he would be more expensive.

We had not seen a slalom of Ioannidis passing 3-4 players. Its evolution is continuous. It’s a matter of confidence and ability. Panathinaikos has many players with quality and personality. We are talking about August. If Ioannidis leaves now, they must have found a center forward before now”.
