Hercules’ veteran footballer, Lakis Papaioannou, spoke on the TV show “Trial on SKAI”, recovering memories of a historic cup game with AEK. At the same time, he commented on the racing image of the great Greek teams, emphasizing the problems of Panathinaikos.
He initially said: “When I was playing in Hercules, incredible things were happening. A match I will never forget was with AEK for the cup. We were 3-0 ahead and Kottis scored a goal by hand. The referee counted it, so AEK reduced to 3-1. Unfortunately in the repeat we lost 2-0 and stayed out of the final. If he didn’t count that goal in Kaftanzoglio, the story might have been different. ”
On the problems in Panathinaikos and the dismissal of Rui Vitoria: “Panathinaikos has not started well in the league. Vitoria’s dismissal has come and the coming month is very difficult. The new coach will take time, but the pressure for immediate results is high. The fact that Vitoria left without greeting the players with whom he worked all this time shows that there were serious problems in the locker room. ”
On AEK and Marco Nikolic’s work: “AEK’s coach does what he believes. He puts the one that deserves, he has won the locker room and the team world. ”
On whether PAOK needed another striker beyond George Yakoumakis: “The acquisition of Yakoumakis will greatly help PAOK, but I think he could have got another striker.”
