Panathinaikos left two points in Peristeri, staying 1-1 with Atromitos and entering the playoffs at -10 by pioneer Olympiacos and -3 from AEK.
In response to the press conference, the Rui Vitoria He spoke of a lack of energy on a spiritual and physical level, analyzed the reasons why the match was completed, referring to Fotis Ioannidis’ defaultwhile closed for the upcoming rematch with Fiorentinastressing that this is a different match.
In detail what he said at the press conference:
For what was wrong today and Panathinaikos did not win: ‘The team seems to have Lack of energy at a physical and spiritual level. The key, however, is that the team should have better decisions near the opposing home. Unfortunately he failed to exploit it. In these matches, after a tired game, against a hard opponent, You have to be effective. You can’t make a perfect game, have complete control over. You have to take advantage of opportunities and we didn’t do it today. Unfortunately.
The opponent he was expecting is to neutralize the pressure and some counterattack. He succeeded. You can’t control all cases. In the actions we do We have to be more effective in order not to chase the goal. For away games we don’t have a win in 2025, we have a continuous match, we have to work more in the outside. We were quite difficult for us demanding games. The dynamic with players who didn’t play many games is lost a bit, we have to fix this. “
What he was missing in Panathinaikos and enters the playoffs with ten points away from Olympiacos and if the ineffectiveness costs expensive: “I think it is crucial to this, our missed opportunities. Olympiacos has a very stable performancehe has won in days that are not so good. The other groups did not maintain good performance. We also missed when we had many consecutive matches to win without the perfect performance. We had many opportunities to win in many matches. We did not manage to maintain the high level. You have to win and when you are not good. What we missed and is not allowed for a large team can not have so few goals based on XGOALs. We didn’t make the goals goals. I think the problem was in the offensive part, not in the defense. This was missing more and unfortunately it is very critical factorwhen you are not good, to score a goal. “
For the performance of Fotis Ioannides lately: “All aggressive have good and bad times. They are confident and things go well without knowing why, sometimes. Ioannides is a very quality aggressive and has proven his value. We work in training to create dynamic for him, to score, to participate. It does not have the effectiveness it should have, but the whole team does not have it, it is not a matter of Ioannides. We made so many opportunities today, with changes we needed, we didn’t have effectiveness. We need to increase everyone’s trust and have it in our minds. We always talk to him and look for the best possible solution for himself and the team. “
On the subject of easy goals and if the quality changes from Thursday to Sunday: “The two games are different. Fiorentina played very high, left us space. Today it was otherwise, Atromitos had defensive orientations. He didn’t give us space. We did good offensive actions. If we had won we would say that the team today made a good game. Many times the goal justifies all the appearance. We are very sad. We had a 17-18 consecutive match, each match had different issues, specifically regular shots. “
