Panathinaikos was one of the big winners of the 8th matchday of the championship, after defeating OFI 1-0 in Heraklion and reduced the distance from his competitors.
Demis Nikolaidis was asked to comment on the appearance of the “greens” at “Jedi Koule” and he emphasized the great quality of Tetewhom he called the team’s top signing.
At the same time, the veteran striker emphasized that Panathinaikos it didn’t make him safe, like his changes Diego Alonso they had significant risk, and in general that the “clover” was a bit stressed.
What he said in detail on the “Monday FC” show:
“Panathinaikos needs the points, they are behind the competitors. It didn’t leave OFI much of a phase in the end. I’ll say it didn’t happen. Tete has not only scored the goal. He was the best player on the field. It is the best transfer of Panathinaikos so far.
Panathinaikos, however, was lucky to score early. He was constantly attacked. The changes that Alonso made were a risk for me. Maybe he was thinking of Chelsea too. OFI had scoring opportunities in the first half. Panathinaikos had some periods where they moved the ball well, but I think that is due to the quality of the players.
Panathinaikos didn’t give me an insurance. I wasn’t saying it locked up the match. OFI tried, in the end he didn’t threaten, however, he was competitive. In the second, Panathinaikos seemed stressed. It has good players and the psychology is built on victories. He had one phase with Arao’s header and I don’t remember another phase in the second. Of course it makes sense for him to be stressed. He needed them, I’m just saying he didn’t take them very calmly.”
