Nikologiannis: “Panathinaikos cancels its midfielders and focuses more on individual quality”

Gameplay issue of Panathinaikouwho cannot serve the existing plan of Diego Alonso as through him his midfielders are cancelledput in his “air”. News Bulletin 247 Tasos Nikologiannis.

“We were in the same project as spectators yesterday, Panathinaikos made its worst appearance. For me, it should accept 4 and 5 goals from Athens Kallithea. There was talk after the match against Lance and on Friday and Saturday that the match is crucial and they have to take it. But we saw the same picture and at the moment Panathinaikos is at -5, with its back against the wall and if it continues like this, the championship will be lost from October. There is no Europe fatigue, the problem is the way it plays. When there are two matches where the opponent is waiting for you and the ball doesn’t go through the center, because you haven’t worked on it, the problem shows. The bottom line is that his midfielders are being cancelled. The football that Alonso plays needs 11… dogs of war, who mark and run, but also very quality strikers, which he has. Midfielders who will press and steal balls, unless he changes his style of play, dealing with build up and creation more. It’s not that the players didn’t know the importance of the match, it’s about how you play. The point is if you have the ball you know what to do with it. Panathinaikos doesn’t know, it’s more about individual quality. As long as he does not pass the ball through the midfielders in a certain way of development, the problem will remain“, he commented about it.

At the same time, the reporter of the station pointed out that the “clover” not only shows no improvement but he plays even worse from game to gamein the championship, while giving his explanation for the best performances in the qualifiers in Europe.
