As every week, so today (30/09), Mr Demis Nikolaidis spoke on NOVA’s Monday FC show, commenting on the big derby between AEK and him Panathinaikos at the OPAP Arena.
Regarding the image of the “Union”, he emphasized that she was more cynical than other times and justly took the victory, while emphasizing that this year’s edition of Matias Almeida’s team knows how to plays good defense.
In detail what he said:
For the derby with Panathinaikos: “We saw another AEK. More cynical. First time he played so cynically to win and he had a plan for it. He played the way he wanted to in the first half. I have the impression that he left the field and the ball to Panathinaikos in the second half. This year’s AEK knows how to play good defense. He may not impress us in all the matches with opportunities and spectacular football, but compared to other years, he does not accept many phases. They beat Panathinaikos fairly, without a terrible performance, but they were focused and did the job they had to. We were used to AEK having many finals and chances, but it does not mean that they would win».
For Piero: “He didn’t just play with crosses. However, he marked Piero. I am waiting to see which stopper will face him in the high game. It looked like he was throwing half a head at Ingason. He has a very strong header, he is very good in the high game. It’s a completely different style than Levi. AEK took advantage of Pieros, closed the spaces behind and won fairly».
Moreover, Demis made a special mention of his competitive image Fotis Ioannidisbut also in the competitive development of Lazaros Rota.
