Savvidis, Ferreira, sales: Rebe’s messages that change PAOK

They couldn’t go into details. Those who are the … salt and pepper and become the object of comment and reproduction for days. However, there was a basic organization chart that was put on the table and analyzed in depth, mainly showing the way of thinking and functioning of the PAOK until today and … from today.

SDNA Analysis …

• Absolute support in Ferreira

Olaf Rebe could not ignore the subject of Abel Ferreira. The German arrived at a special moment for the Portuguese. It is no secret that there were “black” clouds over his head after last season, that for several days there was a “coach problem”. Through SDNA, we noted that the issue was closed following a decision by Ivan Savvidis that worked against the sirens. Rebe boldly admitted that he was “shocked” by the atmosphere he received for the Portuguese during the first period of his presence on the team. “I respected him, supported him and approached him …” he said, among other things, making it clear that the Portuguese found an ally in his face. A man, whose speech was very important for the leaders of Dikefalos given the communication and friction that a coach is supposed to have with the technical director.

A few days ago, Abel Ferreira adored Rebe, characteristically saying that whoever decided to bring him to PAOK, succeeded. For his part, the German “retaliated”, stating: “as long as I’m here I will support him as much as possible so that he and the club can succeed.” Thus, One realizes that for Rebe the subject of a coach is a personal bet. And at this stage, the Ferreira theme! The two are in direct and daily contact for everything, something extremely necessary in the functioning and structure of a soccer team.

• Coach and technical director with freedom of movement

It is clear that when Rebbe took the helm of the PAOK, he was presented with a Specific plan with two main pillars: Economic rationalization and specific objectives in Greece and Europe. From there and beyond, the movements that were carried out – based on what was said – show that PAOK has entered a new era. What does this mean; That the squad is very young compared to AEK and Olympiakos. The quality characterized by the management of Dikefalos, however, at this time the essence of whether this plan will guarantee guaranteed success cannot be discussed. It is not realistic: “It is too early to talk about what you are saying, to say what we are going to have for dessert while the salad has not yet arrived,” said Rebe, giving an example of how they are assessing the situation now. In fact, PAOK goals do not mean that they do not go hand in hand with the championship, the Cup and a good run in Europe. At the current stage, PAOK analyzed through Rebe, what did not go well last year, what needed to be improved and added. The bottom line, obviously, will be done at the end of the season and whether it is successful or not.

Throughout this journey that Rebe and Ferreira will follow is of great importance the first attack on freedom of movement by the Savvidis family. And this is because it is not ruled out that the PAOK finds it in front of them in time: “I really appreciate the fact that we have freedom of movement. The last word, of course, belongs to Mr. Savvidis, but we have the freedom to do what we believe … “.

• The situation is more easily controlled and managed with FFP

It is something that PAOK has communicated in every way. It was necessary … bad to follow a different economic policy. There was the FFP “loop”. In modern European football that does not mean that there is simply a strong owner who constantly puts his hand in his pocket. This was also the case in Ivan Savvidis’ PAOK. The turn was imperative. The PAOK proceeded with the sales of players who were entering the last year of their contracts and the possibilities of renewing them were minimal and with the risk of losing them with a horizon of not one euro: “What I can say is that the money that the equipment is satisfactory, it is difficult to evaluate all the data … “.

With the same reasoning, harmonized with the financial rules, the reinforcement movements were made: “They called me to bring money to the team, to find players who bring money. We were looking for the best possible solutions … “, Rebe characteristically said, giving the absolute stigma of the politics pursued in PAOK this summer.

Obviously, they would not be included in the numbers, and Kyriakos Kyriakos added on the subject that, even though transfer planning was affected, however results were achieved. Commonly, PAOK can “breathe” better, without feeling the lump of FFP in his throat: “We can say – but – that the situation is now controllable and easier to handle, but knowing that not all problems can be solved in one transfer window “.

On the other hand, it is important that any policy of the PAOK was not made under a state of despair. And that Rebbe explained to me a typical example is Giannoulis. It is a common secret that Atalanta and Porto knocked on PAOK’s door, with enough money, however, PAOK did not want to enter into the logic of “selling out”. As was the case with Sfiderski, Ingasson, Mihai: “Of course we are not desperate, we have one of the best brokers in Europe and although we had many offers we did not sell it. The forward, who hopes to become one of the best Polish strikers, and we had proposals for his signing, is also here. We made sales but we said no. We have patience. We renew with players with great prospects ”.

Clearly, an important parameter in the above discussion is the moment of movements. And this is because it is done in combination with previous European games. On whether PAOK should have planned the matches against Krasnodar in the background, given Akpom’s desire to leave, already announcing his decision, as to why Matos’s “wishes” did not go hand in hand with the team and in the key European games and PAOK was not based on the experience of the Brazilian, etc. But there are also issues that affect Ferreira’s decisions. “Beyond that, the coach decides how he will manage the players at his disposal.” He is judged …

• It was and is open to Vierinias

From the moment that PAOK did not say goodbye to Andelino Vierinias, it did not “respond” to his people … goodbye, it is clear that the problem for Dikefalos staff was and is open. The revelation came through Kyriakos that an argument between Ivan Savvidis and the Portuguese preceded and the case was more “tied.” What mediated and why we got here today is something that only the two parties are fully aware of and until now they have tried – with whatever failures – to “respect” the common course, what they lived and achieved. No one can predict what will happen. It is clearly Ivan Savvidis. “The order of the majority shareholder is clear …”Kyriakos Kyriakos said, making it clear that in such a special and important case for PAOK, the first and last reason belongs where it should. End of story …

* Obviously Rebe and consequently PAOK and his management cannot be “judged” by a press conference but over time, however, it is clear that a clear position was given through multiple messages on what characterizes PAOK in the new was. .
