AEK: Bad timing for the stoppage, but an opportunity for work

The last, until the holidays, break of the league could not come at a worse timing for the AEKwho seemed to be rolling, finding chemistry and scoring back-to-back important wins. However, Matias Almeida wants to take advantage of the time he will have until next Sunday’s derby with Olympiakos at “G. Karaiskakis”.

Although eight internationals will be absentthe Argentine coach will have plenty available for quality work. In Spata, for example, players such as Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi, Odubajo, Simanski, Jonsson, Pereira, Ljubisic, Gacinovic, Fernandes, Amrbat, Martial and Garcia will remain, who show that they are counted in the main body by “Pelados”.

As for the internationalMandalos and Rota complete their duties with the national team on Sunday and so from Monday-Tuesday they will be back at their base, Strakosa and Eliasson finish with Albania and Sweden respectively next Tuesday and therefore from Wednesday they will return to Spata, while also the next Tuesday, Piero and Koita will play against Haiti and Mauritania, but they will have more difficult return trips and will logically start training from Thursday. The most difficult cases are those of Pineda and Cullens, who play Mexico and Peru respectively in the early hours of Wednesday and having a transatlantic return trip will train at best on Friday and at worst on Saturday.
