Ek: Summit, Araucho and Athanasiades… | Blog – George Tsakiris

Giorgos Tsakiris writes about AEK’s first place, the importance of convincing by staying there, focuses on the team’s ’11’ and ‘1’ show (huge show) and has a footnote…

The moment seemed to come. Who followed the course of the tournament, the matches, and the picture of the teams that shone (especially Eck so is it Panathinaiko), they realized that it was only a matter of time to change … the joins from Matthias Almeida It was the team that showed on the field that it was time to get what it deserved, at a time when it was clear that Ivan Jovanovich Achieve results that are beyond all football logic, all (or more correctly, almost all) at the limit…now biceps She’s at the top, covered -8 and more and she’s at +2. Exploit her weapons: menu, headquarters…

It may sound like a cliche, but it’s also the ultimate truth. The problem in these cases is that in each league, each team was competing for the championship with another (as in the case of doubles). AEK – Panathinaikos), you should not be on top, as this can sometimes happen, but stay in it. Pushing is different from falling behind and trying to reach the top. to joins The new season begins with more pressure to manage the status, the climax and of course the matches.

This is a team with new faces, not all, but most of them (even in the eleven) and with a new coach and general technical staff. It fully responded to the condition of reversing the situation, erasing the -8 that its main competitor managed to achieve and took the first place by plus 2 from the second place Panathinaikos! Now and from now on, it must prove its ability to respond to the pressure of the first place and try to further differentiate itself from its competitors, its main pursuers. It’s not going to be easy… We certainly shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the team pulled him out January Completely successful and make the most of it!

The first tough task comes to stay on top Sunday In the pigeon with his opponent fearless. “Yellow and black” should respond where even Olympic (He got a score thanks to Paschalakis), and he didn’t PAOK (He was unlucky, he seemed to be worth the double) and even took advantage of the match You get stuck Between the two teams that I just indicated that this is not implemented pigeon They only got one point. In the case of weak o biceps In addition to staying at the top, it will certainly increase the difference, either from one of Olympiacos – PAOK or from both at best …

Magnificent Araucho, Mr… clean sheets Athanasiades!

but to reach Eck At the top they played a huge role. Looking at the guy on the edge of the bench who’s done a great job, but above all, he’s created a solid dressing room squad, footballers who, whether they play or not, give 100% (and) to their manager. The fact that he has excellent material and tremendous depth on the bench obviously plays a role, and that has been proven in matches and in a season where important players have been absent, let’s not forget that. Of course, we keep in mind that their main competitors have not been able to reach AEK performance standards with a marathon duration like the championship and it is important to achieve this.

However, there are specific people who actually view it. The first and the best is Sergio Araujo. Yes, obviously it’s not news, but we can’t mention it… Not only what he does on the pitch, which is great and sends the right messages to the whole team, but also what he’s achieved with the team. others in the locker room. His pass to her third goal Eck It is a move that seems easy, simple and right, it is at the same time a message to all the other footballers, that what matters is the team, ‘us’ and not ‘me’!

Presentation is just as important George Athanasiades (in cooperation with his defence). We may not understand it on a day to day basis and after every match, but when the numbers are there, the implication is clearly that his contribution is huge. Because of Greek her guard Eck He has ten clean sheets in the 14 matches he has played under the posts and has seen his team commit errors only five times. I repeat always with his central defenders, his midfielders and his good job in general union He is far from the first attack and the best defense, as he conceded only 9 goals.

But his interventions in important matches and match points are decisive. One need not strain his head to remember his intervention fearless And during the match it was 0-0 with Panathinaikos in his best Bernard (again at 0-0 match), at Nice Where he did not allow 2-0 and gave his team the possibility of an upset. by Mars Now just step into his corner so that you don’t become 1-1 with his head Brambitz… I wouldn’t go back where there are other crucial tackles, these are enough to understand how big his offer really is, and he will continue to do so … It makes sense for the goalkeeper to take second place and focus (justifiably) on the central attackers, which is a bit unfair for Athanasiades (or is Stankovich If he plays he’s also a very good goalkeeper).

Hello: I wrote it again and highlighted it on the radio: Jasinović’s return and Eliasson’s rehabilitation team’s work should be acknowledged. Not because players are simply back in a shorter amount of time, but mainly because you see them on the turf and it looks like they haven’t missed a week. Full intensity, mood, effort. With super energy and psychology… You don’t come across this easily either way at a time when muscle issues are decreasing for the “Yellow and Black”, proving that their bodies are starting to respond to the different (in terms of intensity and work) workouts this season.

Y2: It is clear that the coach and the Olympiacos team have to come and go as happened with their counterparts in Panathinaikos, PAOK and Aris. Without the slightest score and with defeat at the end of the match, just like those who visited our new headquarters. Don’t let anything fall so they don’t have an excuse. But? Those who vandalized team and fan buses (recently a bus with OFI fans was attacked in Piraeus)? I don’t remember how many times – not the truth in recent years – we have written that the AEK boss and his mission have been attacked with objects and stones. None of them flipped the trainer and the race ran normally!

Y3: Lucescu continues his misguided, dangerous, and nonsensical game of communication. There is no one at PAOK – to say it elegantly – to comfort him, manage him, to say at least one thing to him: “Coach, well, we said it, let’s move on, the referee doesn’t whistle against us, but enough of this hate speech all the time”, Who will do that? But justice will do it one day… They can’t continue not to listen and read and know what the Roman technician says.
