by

The belief that the teams without him have not improved BIG 5but the “big ones” have lost their stability, he expressed in his air bwinSPORTFM 94.6 the Savvas Pantelidis.

Asteras technician АКТОР, who has made a strong start on the Arcades bench, spoke on the show “Pressing” and them Hello Tsuchika and Michael Tsohogave his own explanation for his teams’ many shenanigans BIG 5while also referring to his goals Star this season.

Finally, he spoke about the importance of set-pieces in modern football, while… he also revealed which team he prefers to see play other than his own.

What Savvas Pantelidis said in detail:

On the fact that Asteras scores a lot from set pieces:

“We have a good… audience. If players understand the importance of set ups and what they need to do then they will do well. It also takes luck. Static phases are a special training. The footballers must also want to train in them and the group must understand that this is something important. In modern football, over 30% of goals come from set pieces.”

For the tactical approach he followed against OFI:

“When the match started we were very careful. Coming off a big win, we didn’t want to lose the match. OFI has a very good team. In the first half we chose to give the ball to the opposition, as they would have expected us to go up. In the second half we knew how to move. As soon as it started, we scored goals. We chose to hit the open space because that’s what we’re good at.”

On the new league format and Cup draw that allows everyone to dream:

“It’s a great motivation, because you have two goals that you see close to each other. It definitely helps us and has given us extra motivation.”

On whether the teams outside the BIG 5 have improved and we have so many gels in the league:

“I can’t say that the teams outside the Big 5 have improved. I would rather say that the big teams are not stable. This is because they haven’t found a consistent starting line-up. That’s why Ares is doing so well. His players have played together a lot and recognize each other’s game.”

For the rotation in the teams and if the players can withstand the consecutive games:

“The players don’t get tired from Wednesday to Friday. Some players biologically in 1-2 days can come back. The rotation is mainly to keep everyone happy.”

For Astera’s goals this season:

“Astera’s goal is the Cup. In the league it is difficult to pass one of the big 5. Fortunately we now got 6 important points. These points help us better manage the cup matches when they come.”

On the fact that he is the third coach of Arkady this season:

“I took the data that the previous two coaches were working with. I chose what I thought suited the team to have a smoother transition. The most important thing is the conversation with the players. They were in for a shock. After the changes of coaches, the responsibility also falls on the players.”

On whether he likes to watch any team outside of Asteras:

“I like to see Mars. I also like PAOK, because in recent years they have been a coach’s team. Sometimes AEK. Panathinaikos and Olympiacos have not found the way yet. But I enjoy watching Olympiakos in Europe.”
