A Trinidadian, an Iranian, a Ukrainian, a Tunisian and a Nigerian enter a stadium. This is more or less the image of AEK’s 3-0 victory over Lamia for the 3rd match of the Interwetten Super League, since in the first match of the Union at the Olympic Stadium this year (he did not play in the premier) His transfers were the ones that stood out at the competitive level (with one exception). Good or for some strange reason, but not for bad.
Livai Garcia needed only a quarter to open an account in the league. Expensive for the club’s data (2,200,000 euros for 60% of his rights and 300,000 euros of bonus), the footballer began his career in Greece moving from the left, assuming a right-wing position. When in the 14th minute he received the ball in the large area, undisturbed, he did not miss the opportunity. He may have been replaced at halftime, but it was not due to his poor appearance. According to Opta statistics on Sport24.gr, in the first half hour of the race he had 7/7 successful transfers! Massimo Carrera had already reported that new players will not necessarily take 90 minutes, especially since Wolfsburg is on the horizon.
Karim Ansarifard was acquired much earlier by the Union and landed a basic jersey in his team’s 3rd obligation this year. García’s goal (duel with Daniel Antezzo) was created by his effort, he made several finals in the first minutes, when AEK was constantly threatening, he owes the strangest phase of the match, perhaps even the match. Like Sergio Araoύjo or his compatriot Massoud Soaei some time ago, the Iranian forward lost something that cannot be lost in the 51st minute, after he sent a cross to the crossbar at an empty home, away from the penalty area. In the continuation of the phase, Petros Mantalos also found the crossbar, but from a very lateral position, from where the goal seemed impossible.
Yevgeny Sakhof also debuted with the ‘yellow-blacks’, near Mandalo, further to the right and a little further behind. The Ukrainian midfielder was in good shape and perfectly adapted to the weather, which is why Carrera kept him on the field throughout the game. The 29-year-old footballer performed well on both offensive and suspension duties, pacing and yelling ‘present’ from the get-go.
Nassim Hnid was AEK’s least busy signing, as Giorgos Petrakis’ 5-4-1 showed Lamia’s trend in the match. Except for about 5 minutes in which the visitors tried, the Tunisian did not have a bad time against a team with a goal problem and Lazar Romanic and Tasso Karamano could not do anything, despite their chances in the second half (without the responsibility of Hind). Unable to stand out defensively, Hnid made a memorable offensive action after a beautiful 40-meter ball kicked off the phase 2-0 on 65 ‘from Kristicic.
Bright Enobakare came in for Ansarifard in the 76th minute and managed to threaten 3 times with personal actions. In one of them he did not limit himself to threatening, but scored – strangely – for 3-0 in 85 ‘, with which the Union’ closed ‘the victory and … good psychology for the playoffs of the Europa League this Thursday in the same stadium.
There was also a player who stood out and it was not a transfer, however, although the fans of AEK have seen very little. This player was elected MVP of the match, he is 20 years old and was Carrera’s surprise in the starting eleven. Theodosis Macheiras took a position on the far left of the attack and with their essential runs, actions and passes they proved to be valuable. His feet was the filling for the 1st goal, his dribbling and his pass became the great opportunity for Ansarifard and Mandalos, he received the center from Hnid and opened the way for Kristic for the 2-0, constantly upsetting the defender of the opponent. And with good reason, he, but also the 5 signings of AEK, will look for a place in the basic squad on Thursday.
