Nine points in the first nine games, another nine in 15 days, after the “deafening” second half against Olympiakos, from which he did not score points, but steeled himself: Panaitolikos, AEK, PAS Giannina. As the old saying goes “when you learn to win, you win even when you are not good; when you constantly lose, you lose even when you are better.” THE Panathinaikos yesterday was no better than PAS Giannina. He didn’t catch an AEK-level performance, which hadn’t created half a chance for him until 70 ‘a week ago. Nor did he grab the opponent by the neck, as in the second 45 minutes of “G. Karaiskakis”. But the aura of victory (and not Avenue’s depressing march), the sweat of self-confidence and individual quality were enough for the third straight triple.
Individual quality not only from Vigiafanies who took Carlitos’s place in the starting line-up (the most crucial decision in the Bologna legislature, in combination with the introduction of Alexandropoulos) and raised Panathinaikos one notch, after before – until .. The Argentine arrives – Mauricio was trying to “pull” him. Individual quality from Hatzigiovanis that finds Makeda and Aitor wonderfully in the two goals. Individual quality of the Spanish winger who “bit” the ball from Messi in the 5-0 at “Camp Nou” 15 years ago (against Mario Galinovic then …) and made the most of the 45 minutes that Laszlo Boloni gave him. Individual quality mainly by Socrates Dioudis, who prevented the guests’ celebrations on two occasions (1-1 and 2-1), showing for the umpteenth time that if he improves in the starts and with the ball at his feet he can make a great transfer: under his heart is the best greek goalkeeper.
Panathinaikos after the first speed in Pogiatos, he put “Monday” with Mauricio (eight 90 minutes, all with Bologna!), He put “third” with Vigiafanies instead of Carlitos and with the time he has he can get a result in Toumba! But what will happen after January, since the Romanian in this transitional stage “fixed” the basics on his own chessboard, is a completely different case …
THE FOUR HALVES ARE NOT IRON MENS
Because while Boloni seems to be looking for (Emmanouilidis, Ioannidis) and finding (Aitor, will return from January and Xavier also has Carlitos) new solutions and midfield options, the problem in midfield “screams”. The problem in the difference in quality and the rhythm of the “basics” versus the alternatives. Vigiafanies – Mauricio – Alexandropoulos – Kourbelis is the quartet that raised the level of Panathinaikos during Bologna. All four played yesterday, after having had two “regular” training sessions.
Alexandropoulos was replaced in the 46th minute (by Aitor) after having made the decisive steal from Kargas, from which the penalty finally came 1-0. Kourbelis this time did not play for 25 minutes with one foot, as had happened against AEK. He was replaced in the 72nd minute by Serpezis: Panathinaikos played 4-2-3-1 with the exhausted Mauricio and the youngster. And for ten minutes the Universe had disintegrated. Dioudis in the 75th minute blocks Piersmann’s quarter, Senkefeld with a “death” tackle blocks Ziontis’ rebound and three minutes later Saliakas thunders on the crossbar and Eleftheriadis misses an empty goal εσ
The scene was repeated just a week after the match with AEK, where Vigiafanies was replaced in the 70 ‘, his three midfielders relaxed, Ayub discreetly watched the Union players and Panathinaikos almost lost the winning by his hands.
Therefore: either he will acquire in the transfer period a “sports” 6-8 ari that will go directly into the rotation instead of Ayub (because he has an alternate 8-10 ari τον Bouzoukis…), or he will be in charge of “shooting” his midfield taking any risks until the end of the season. It is clear that the season (both with the Cup and ten play-offs until May) does not end with four midfielders. Each of Kourbelis (overworked), Alexandropoulos (first semi-basic season), Mauricio (problematic / incomplete preparation), Vigiafanies (eight months abstaining) have their own “problems” and no one is … Iron – Man with whom to play continuously Good performance …Boloni said it yesterday in his own way: «We win and receive important information that we take note of. I recognize that not all the information is positive “.
EXAMPLE TO IMITATE PAS GIANNINA
As for PAS Giannina? The benefits of stability with the same coach for a second season are obvious. It is the team with the best “spread” in the field and the strongest pressure under the Big -5, it is a team with principles and identity, a team that does not close, that does not fear its opponent (draw with Aris – Olympiakos, two -correctly- goals disallowed with AEK, defeat in delays by PAOK), a team that made nine free transfers without looking for stars.
A team that dares to play 4-4-2 (yesterday 4-3-3 exceptionally due to the central quartet of Panathinaikos), which kept Argyri gianniki Although December came to “cross” a victory at home, a team that is affected by its scoring position and yesterday created four clear opportunities (as many as the Greens) without Leo-Chrysman and was defeated by their defensive errors.
PAS should not worry about your permanence, but about your progress. You have to make a plan for more and better. For the emergence of young people, for the better organization of their already improved Academy, to begin to settle in SL1 after last year’s “break”, to begin to “grow taller,” to claim better positions, to attract better players , to increase your income and “grow”. He’s in a really good momentum overall, let him take advantage!
PS1: Now, since Boloni himself cannot, it is the duty of Pierre Dreosi (IF he takes care of the dressing room…) to clarify this “playing field” in terms of penalties. With the “faces” of Hatzigiovanis that the “big one” did not let him execute and with Makeda – Vigiafanies holding the ball one meter from the white ball and negotiating, the picture is shameful for a normal team. The next step is to ask the referee to play the coin “crown – letters” …
Υ.Γ. 2: Sampling of two of the players’ speeches after the end of the match… Dioudis: «With Olympiakos we did a good performance but we did not achieve anything, but from that day we started to believe more in ourselves and we did it on the field.». Aitor: «My teammates know that I went through a difficult period when I wasn’t playing and these weeks helped me psychologically and supported me a lot. I want to thank my colleagues for the way they have supported and helped me all this time.». Lighting both.
Υ.Γ. 3: Unfortunately, the avenue playing field, especially from the side of the benches where the sun does not touch the grass, was disappointing, perhaps even dangerous. Very heavy anyway, it was and will be heavier due to the humidity from the rains. Panathinaikos is called in a) to “get” the season in two problem pitches because OAKA is not subject to major improvements in the current season b) to decide from now on where he will play next season (in the presence of fans to be well) and do the proper planning …
