Athanasiou: “Panathinaikos’ image is shocking – they want top-class players, if – Football – Stockman’s Super League – Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos correspondent Nikos Athanasiou gave his comment on bwinSPORT FM 94.6 after the Greens’ poor start to the new league with a 1-0 defeat against Asteras Aktor in OAKA.

Among others, he commented: “Panathinaikos couldn’t get anything from midfield in the first half, Zeca was sent off for a foul, and Lodigui is responsible for the goal.”

in detail:

“Panathinaikos’ image was shockingly bad. They got what they deserved. I will agree with Tasos Nikologiannis that he did not miss tonight’s game because of changes. When you look at the lineup, he did not put Vichai, Kateri and Dambisa. They played with players who were considered and had quality.

What I think cost the first half had to do with the midfield. Zika – Maksimovic together are 6 years old and have similar characteristics with Velina who had a bad image when he started, Panathinaikos couldn’t get anything going.
It didn’t have good returns either. He was threatened until he raised his performance level.

In the second half, Zika’s blunder changed the game. The only thing he shouldn’t have done was send him off. The player is gone, he’s there, but the last thing he should have done is send him off. Even if he did, Lodingin has the chance to take him off. It’s the worst thing you can do to leave a team with 10 in the 51st minute. Lodingin is responsible for the goal from the free kick. That goal should be disallowed because the opponent was far from the wall and there was a player who hugged Sinquefeld. VAR should have seen it.

Panathinaikos did not respond. It was a straight line. No one gave more. The indication after the expulsion is that a unique stage occurred in the 93rd minute with Geremijev. Panathinaikos’ image is very bad, there is no excuse. They started the league in the worst way. They should be a very strong leader for the continuation. This roster needs strengthening. Especially on the left wing because they knew Bernard would leave it since last January.

Panathinaikos are in the same state as they were last summer in midfield. Then he said that at 8 he wanted a player who would make the difference. He considered Velina a very good case. It didn’t work for him either last year or this year. There are no solutions there, except for Sherin. As important as the left winger is, the 8-inch player is also important.
