We talked about improving production, progress to be made in blocking, and the most efficient offense and defense in this league so far.

In this blog we will point out some interesting facts that arise through analysis 34 Of the goals Trefoyle scored in these 13 matches, in the first round of this year Premier League.

He got most of it from the right

There are three stages of organized offensive development for the group. Structure, i.e. how the team will move the ball from defense to the middle third.

The explanation for the right side’s strength this year comes through its impressive first outing Sebastian Palacios But also having Djuricic in this side as a midfielder, where he was present in most of the matches.

Toko had a creative role in 6 of his team’s goals. He scored 4 and was present in 10 of 34, thus… 29% He is the most pivotal winger on this year’s roster.

Ioannidis follows him with 4, he has scored five and has a very high participation with 9 out of 34.

Sporar, Djuric and Mladenovic also have the same number of goal contributions, i.e. 4, either with an assist, a penalty kick or a pivot.

Fifteen different scorers, which is a big difference from last year

In last year’s round, Panathinaikos scored 24 goals. Ten times less than this year. In that time Trefoyle has scored goals from nine different players. Eight goals for Aitor, five for Sporar, four for Palacios, two for Ioannidis and one each for Verbeek, Facundo, Huancar, Cerin, Magnusson.

This year the “Greens” have it 14 Different scorers, five more. Ioannidis scored five goals, four for Sporar and Palacios, three each for Bernard and Djuricic, two each for Cerin, Mancini, Jeremejev, Verbeek and Aitor and one each for Magnusson, Mladenovic, Aarão and Vaiandis. One goal was scored from an own goal by a Panserikos player.

At a glance, Panathinaikos has scored 6 goals this year from the “Two Ten” (Bernard and Djuricic), where last year there was no goal from a footballer who played there and three more than Fotis Ioannidis.

In a way, the view is that the team’s rise this year on the creative side, as well as the continuity of Ivan Jovanovic’s work, is due to Ioannidis’ career season, to Bernard’s improvement and to Djuricic being where he is. He has added quality to the midfield, as have other players who were not on the roster last year and provided solutions.

For example, on the left side of defence, Mladenovic, with a total participation in 5 goals.
