Aitor sent the first survival message

The shocking interview Awarded by Aitor Candalabidra On the Spanish site “Relevo”, in addition to the deposition of the soul he made, where he first strongly demonstrated his battle with the “depression monster” he spent in his first season in “clover” in the period of “the outbreak of Bologna”, he also had a strong first message to stay to his side Panathinaiko.

The Catalan winger is doing things and … miracles this season with the “Greens”, he is the absolute protagonist of the first two months of the Premier League and has now left behind all this bad period he lived in fighting with himself and with the help of a psychiatrist, to escape the depression that “sank in it during his first year at Panathinaikos.

Now everything has changed for him and as much as he always chooses in his posts, a more modest way of talking about the future. Without opening up too much about his plans, in his last interview, he pretty much showed some of the ideas he had already made for the next day. And where will it be after July 1, 2023, when the current contract he signed with Panathinaikos expires in June 2020.

Aitor is a player who always wants stability in his life, but also wants confidence. Things he found to an absolute degree for a year and a half in his cohabitation in Panathinaikos with Ivan Jovanovic.

This can be seen in his words whenever he talks about the 60-year-old technician. He did it last July, In his interview with SPORT24 During the days of summer training, when he revealed for the first time that the Serbian coach changed all his thoughts, persuaded him to stay in the team and changed his attitude towards Panathinaikos and football.

He repeated it two weeks ago in another interview he gave in a Catalan program, he did it now in the conversation he had with the website “Relevo”. Jovanovic provides him with the security and calm football he needs to perform at his best. And he does not hide it, but expresses it, he says, in the form of a simple “thank you” to the Serbian technician.

Stronger than ever the idea of ​​”survival”

It is clear that the stay of the 26-year-old winger in Panathinaikos will be largely determined by the progress of the discussions and negotiations that will begin between the management of “trefoil” and his agent within the next ten days – the day after tomorrow (16/10, 19:30) A match with Lamia, as reported by SPORT24 a few days ago – but in the Catalan’s mind, the idea of ​​”I want to stay” is much stronger than ever.

So much so that he is even considering a Greekization – a la Zeka – which, in order to move forward, would need to stay at least two more years in Greece. Even if this was a “revelation” in his last interview. “I mentioned this to my girlfriend as a joke, but I meant it to her. I discussed it with two of my teammates. I have to stay here for another two years to get my passport, but why not?“.

He really wants to play for the Greek national team

In addition to the security, the obvious role, the impact on the team’s game and the leadership presence he now has at Panathinaikos, Aitor has another goal: to take his game to a higher international level.

He knows very well that in this Spanish national team the chances of being called up, even when sent by Luis Enrique, are no more than … 1%, given that there are dozens of high-ranking players throughout the Spanish national team. football. But he really wants to play in a national team, and the Greek perspective excites and attracts him a lot. And this may be the next step, in addition to his stay in Panathinaikos for at least another 2-3 years.

The conditions for the renewal of the “section” on both sides now seem ideal. So much so that Aitor – at the moment – is not even in the process of seeing what other options will be available on the market. Although he was being harassed and the “sirens” were already ringing in his ears. Even from his hometown teams…
