The opponent was too weak and the game character trained more, numb from the constant training in the past two weeks.

However, there are things worth noting, especially on an individual level. let’s go then…

Aitor’s thirst

Eight months later. After this serious injury that hampered his career season and deprived Panathinaikos of one of the most influential football players. It is not easy to come back after cruciate surgery. for no one. The psychological aspect is just as important as the action part of the comeback and the question was whether he would stand on the grass again in the first friendlies on Austrian soil. He didn’t think about it for a moment, asked to come in and showed his absolute thirst for football, devoid of any bad or second thoughts.

the Aitor In that twenty-minute match against Fenner Victoria, he showed that he was mentally fully prepared, as if not a day had passed since his serious injury against Aris. All this joy of being here again was captured by what he did with the ball at his feet, being so energetic, finding clover through the smile of the Spanish winger, Aitor faster than he could have expected.

The return of your double costume

Not only was Aitor’s return to competition, but also Aitor’s your costume. Double. Back on the lawn after 8.5 months, he returns to his beloved Panathinaikos after six years. The way the international midfielder talks about the club is shocking. Why; Because in Copenhagen during the six years that he wore the shirt of the team, he lived more pleasant moments and celebrated more and more important titles and, dare we say, he was appreciated and loved even more.

However, first love is eternal and Carlos has clover in his heart. Perhaps he looks more broken compared to Aitor (don’t forget that this was the second surgery on the cruciate ligament in two years) but if he is good during the season he will provide quality solutions for Ivan Jovanovic.

Bernard fun

He was the downside at the start of pre-season due to his late arrival in Athens but he wants to leave that behind and the first half against Fener was a good opportunity.

the Bernard He was the captain of the ‘Greens’, had an excellent attitude to face a friendly match against a Third Division team, and clearly made the difference. The Brazilian had a footballing soul, and he validated that with his excellent 2-0 assist and will not stop being the most important chapter in Panathinaikos’ formation as long as he is in the team. He has the longest contract, he has the best of his previous football life, and he has the highest demands.

Jeremyjev’s positive sign

It doesn’t take a friendly match against a third-tier team to tell in the information and age of the photo what kind of player it is. Alexander Jeremyev, Top scorer in the Swedish League in the 2021-2022 season. His image in the friendly match was just a ‘rejuvenation’. An experienced striker may not hold the ball well with his back, he may not be very good technically, but scoring is in his blood.

He was four out by Bernard once, and he stuck with a fine finish. He also got a one-on-one assist on Mancini with a great set outside the area. Let’s see him in the upcoming friendlies if he’s going to fit into the squad, let’s see him in training sessions too, but it’s unfair to discuss whether he could stand as a third in this year’s list, in a year where he’s been two spots. Attackers do not work.

little ones

With the internationals included on Tuesday, the time and opportunities they will have in the upcoming friendlies will not be enough. The patches prepared were very positive. And Cideras is in the middle of the defense alongside Sinkifield and Kalouskamis, with Bilal, who scored the third and fourth goals, and Frocco, who also returned from a serious knee injury, and showed that he had completely overcome it.
