Asteras AKTOR-Fearless: A… deja vu under the gaze of Claude Makelele

They are in the same places again… Eight months after their last home victory, Asteras AKTOR hopes to experience a dejavu at “Theodoros Kolokotronis” where they welcome Atromitos (20.00, Novasports, bwinSPORT FM, www.sportfm.gr) for the 4th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

And deja vu perfectly fits both the arrival of the great Frenchman, Claude Makeleleto take on the Arkades, as well as for the fact that against their current opponent they had managed to celebrate the most recent three points at their “home”.

Home team counts 4 points in the first three matches, with the guests on their side to they have 2 and looking for their first win of the year to get the better of their rivals and get a good boost on the restart.

To Asteras AKTOR so we had huge changes. One day after the draw in “Vikelidis” against Aris, the divorce was announced with Vassilis Mandzis and a little over 24 hours later, the end of the collaboration with him was made official Milan Rastavac. A move sudden and illogical at the given moment, since the Arcades were coming off big results against Panathinaikos and Mars. The case Robbie Keane that had been worked on for days did not progress, the precious time of the league break was lost and only yesterday the once huge midfielder, Makelelesigned with the team, while there was also a rapturous reception.

Today, he will see his young footballers from the stands, while on the edge of the bench will be the loyal soldier, Staikos Vergetis. Certainly, the presence of the Frenchman in the stands of “Th. Kolokotronis” will be an extra motivation for the players! The only absence is his Nikolai Alho who is now training normally, but still not 100% ready.

The mission in detail: Papadopoulos, Tsintotas, Triantafyllopoulos, Kastanio, Deli, Garthia, Alvares, Houhoumis, Yablonski, Alagbe, Jandaris, Mumo, Regics, Bartolo, Palasios, Adam, Regis, Kaltsas, Jimas, Zouglis.

THE Fearless now it comes from the 2-1 home defeat by PAOK. He had a good first half but found himself behind on the scoresheet, managing to equalize with his penalty Ward in the 85th minute, but then conceded a goal in stoppage time. He has made many good signings, but he needs time to bond. He certainly has great quality, especially in midfield and the Pablo Garcia he will have to find the right balance in his team as he has conceded 4 goals in 3 games so far. In essence, this happens because there are several attacking footballers, but also because it is a team with many young players who are trying to learn each other’s game. On top of that, it has already faced three strong opponents (Aris, OFI and PAOK).

In Tripoli, fans of Peristeriots are expected to be found, as has been the case in recent years, and they will give their own color to the stands of “Theodoros Kolokotronis”. Returning to the expedition are Kini and Mansoor who served their punishment, while for the first time he is in this o Harry Tsingaras. He was left out Jovaras due to nuisances, as well as the Pomoni and Argiriou.

The Intrepid mission in detail: Houtesiotis, Koselef, Saltas, Athanasiou, Stavropoulos, Kini, Brosson, Tsakmakis, Mansour, Tsingaras, Gondhaleth, Mihorl, Mundes, Kaloskamis, Ouedraogo, Vrakas, Karamanis, Warda, Van Weert, Carlitos, Jubitana, Baku.
