Cerin: “The worst thing for a football player is not being able to help his team – On Sunday we turn a new page”

Panathinaikos starts 2025 with a great match against PAOK (05/01, 20:30), behind closed doors OAKAfor the 17th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.

THE Adam Cherin spoke to the COSMOTE TV camera about the problem that he faced recently and kept him out of action, while at the same time he referred to the derby with the “double-header of the north” and the need for Panathinaikos to start its year ideally.

In detail what he said:

“On a personal level, I had some problems at the end of last year. I contracted a bacteria and unfortunately was out of the game for the last four games. It is the worst thing for a footballer, not to be able to help his team and also I was sad because this situation happened to me. I replenished my strength to the fullest, started training with the team normally after the break and I think we are training amazingly. We have done a very good job these days and we are preparing for the upcoming matches. Of course we have very difficult games, we start with PAOK, who we know is a very good team. But we are ready and we will do everything to succeed.”

For the end of the season:

“Yes, we finished last year very well. We went on a winning streak, we won a lot of games in a row, which is the most important thing for a team to gain confidence, to start “building” something. Especially after the arrival of the new coach and I’m very happy about that, but we all know that in football what counts is how you play in the last games. So we can say that on Sunday we turn a new page with the arrival of the new year. We are very well prepared, we have done very well in the last few weeks and the aim for 2025 is to continue ahead of the start of the year. We all know it and we all work hard. That’s why it’s also important to start well in these derbies, big games against big opponents. It’s a good opportunity to do this on Sunday and to continue like this in the next matches.”
