Karoulias in the Trial to SKAI: “Why doesn’t PAOK promote the academy kids – They should have kept Meite”

The veteran footballer spoke about the league teams and the battle for the title, Nikos Karouliasin the Trial on SKAI on Monday (11/11).

What he said in detail:

For the phase in the canceled goal of Aris: “Why does the Panaitolikos player stop? He could chase the player. I find it strange that the player stopped. It’s not a foul for me. If possible. It’s a dynamic sport that has contacts.”

About the atmosphere at PAOK-Olympiakos: “I will focus on the score and the phases. It was a very good game. It didn’t have the fanaticism, like in other games, but there were runs and phases from both. Why not see it as culture?”

For the championship: “It is the football revolution of small and medium-sized companies. We’ve never seen that before. Small teams to beat the big ones not only inside but also outside. It’s something that excites me. I really like it. The big ones have this level and the little ones have gone up. The big ones have not fallen in football terms, the small ones just rose, they are not afraid, they don’t play back. They made good choices and we see for example in the first part Lamia was Panathinaikos and Panathinaikos was Lamia. It was a tragic image for Panathinaikos in the first half.”

For the image of Panathinaikos: “I feel more sorry for Alafuzo because he put his hand deep in his pocket, brought good players and he doesn’t see results. It seemed that Alonso was not fit and the team is not in good physical condition. Inside the locker room there are eight to 10 people besides the coach. So the coach can’t be the only problem. It seems like a team without passion and swagger, they don’t have the will to beat you. The people around the team should also tighten up a bit. The surroundings also play a role. Also, Ioannidis has been left quite behind after his injury. Young people should imitate him. He has improved a lot and together with El Kaabi they are the best.”

For PAOK: “PAOK has good academies and I can’t understand why they don’t promote players from there. It impresses me. On the contrary, Olympiacos is an example. Hats off to Medlibar for picking them and putting them on. Meite was half of PAOK and he had to keep him at all costs.”

For the Olympiacos-AEK derby: “It will be a good game. They have good strikers. AEK has the best defense but it doesn’t inspire confidence in me. Her central defense and goalkeeper have made serious mistakes. They have strikers who can change the result. I can’t make a prediction. Olympiacos is in good momentum and the victory in Toumba gives them confidence and momentum. AEK have better players but they don’t have the team they could have based on their material.”

For the title fight: “I cannot make such a prediction. I would give chances to the team that could manage the time. In the playoffs to be in the best possible condition. I would like Mars in the square. He had a good team in other years, but he doesn’t have the punch of the championship. Moron is excellent.”

For the arbitration: “Let’s not forget that before VAR there was chaos. Every Sunday we had 15 wrong tips that changed results. Now that doesn’t happen. Mistakes are made, but we don’t reach an extreme point.”

For the National Team: “The victory over England was a great success. There are associations with the 2004 team. Then we drew 2-2 with England with Otto Rehagel and we had also been to Portugal. I have confidence in the team, we have a good defense, players who can put the defense in the net. I want to believe that Ioannidis will be in good condition.”
