The six players reincarnated in AEK Almeida
Through her regular and individual approach, Matias Almeida manages to get important performances from AEK players who have been questioned or even disadvantaged. Sportish explains.
Roles, soccer plan, clear responsibilities. Basic requirements for every footballer in order to exploit their potential and compensate for any weaknesses.
Along with a triptych of reasons why players of the team in previous seasons saw their careers “miserable” at the hands of AEK, who failed and went fast with virtues totally untapped. But that is past.
In the present, Matias Almeida’s approach and the inspiration of the plan, which would give the team a specific competitive identity, have helped the AEK footballers to increase their performance and remove the doubt as to whether they could be useful to the whole or not . There are many cases proving the truth of the Word.
At the right end of the defence, after a deaf start, o Lázaros Rota brings performances that keep him in the starting line-up, while Djibril is sure to offer Sidibe the time needed to prepare properly without the rush and pressure that would potentially force Almeida to use it sooner than necessary. He works hard in training, improving his weaknesses and is a player who is now establishing himself in the squad.
On the corresponding left side, o Milan Mohammadi he gradually gained Almeida’s trust. He became more stable, more cautious than the player he was last year, that is, able to play the best and the worst in the same game.
Of course, AEK also needs a player like Sidibe on the left, who will soon be the main player on the right. But until then, the Iranian could turn out to be a bet that didn’t lose after all.
In the defense center George Tzavellas he responded appropriately, with much better performances than last year when Harold Mukudi tried to make up lost ground and convince Almeida through training.
He was left out of the starting XI because of his (self)injury to his hand, but sooner or later the Cameroonian would be in the starting XI anyway. Crucially, the international stopper has helped when needed and is a good alternative.
Subversion, persuasion and revelation
in the center line, Damian Szymanski He was undeterred by the acquisition of Jonsson, a straight 6 who was rightly rewarded with flattering comments for his first appearances.
But when the Dane was injured, not only was the Pole ready to fulfill the demands of the role, he was also able to keep the ex-Cádiz player on the bench! He finally found the trainer who stabilized him in the position that suits him best.
On the right attack wing, o North in Amrabad He initially accepted the role of the footballer and then got used to the role of the footballer who will come off the bench to provide extra energy and solutions in games that require a change of scenery.
In all games, he delivered passes that either became goals or should have been scored, while also scoring two goals. The most important thing is that during this process he found his role in the team and the joy of the game.
in the attack, Levi Garcia is the revelation of this year’s AEK. Already a 5-goal scorer, a player who eventually turns out he himself didn’t quite know what he was and what he should play to perform due to his great technical ability and athleticism. A small “revolution” with wondrous results.
One could also point to Hadjisafi’s usefulness in various roles, although this was also established last year. Or the activation of Athanasiadis, who returned to AEK full of confidence.
Also in the role of Sergio Araujo, who does things on the pitch that any coach can infinitely appreciate, even if he doesn’t come into contact with the net that often.
Almeida, through the teamwork and playstyle he established, managed to become useful and feel confident to players who were struggling to show the way. Great event for team progress.

Despodov became an integral part of a well-coordinated machine: the two great performances against Kifissia
Kirill Despodov put in his best performance with the PAOK jersey in the 2023 final and showed that he has fully integrated into Razvan Lucescu’s group. The Bulgarian midfielder’s outstanding performances against Kifissia.
PAOK ideally completed its commitments before the end of 2023, when it passed Kaisariani with full football and played the newly enlightened Kifissia.
Lucescu’s men produced their most productive performance in this year’s Stoiximan Super League, finishing second in threat as their 15 final appearances were valuable 2.29 xGoals. The previous event happened three days ago in Tripoli when they beat Asteras 4-1. Thomas Murg’s star shone in this game. In Caesariani, Kirill Despodov was MVP.
The Bulgarian midfielder was one of six goalscorers for the Black and Whites and provided three assists, marking his most successful appearance for the Black and Whites. Tyson and Zivkovic were absent from these two games (Asteras and Kifisia), but their absence was never felt. And in this (especially at Kifissia) Despodov played an important role.
Despodov’s two great performances against Kifissia
Kirill Despodov was deployed on the right attacking wing, the position where Lucescu uses him most often, and the Bulgarian once again fulfilled his role. In fact, he was the player higher up the field (77) than Brandon Thomas (71) who turned further back on the field several times, as we can see in the Opta Stats/Perform graph.
Lucescu held him the entire game and Despontov finished the game with 58 actions with the ball. In fact, ten of them were in the Anagnostopoulos area. It was the highest performance by a Dikefalo player in the league, behind Tomas’ 11 appearances against Lamia.
In one of these ten actions, Despodov scored with a beautiful shot from deep. Where it stood out from Kifissia was the creation part. Created four finals All three even provided assists for his teammates (for goals from Thomas, Murg and Ozdoev).
At the same time he had four successful dribbles a record performance by a PAOK player in 90 minutes. Because Despodov was high up the pitch, he didn’t have many passes, but he had a very good scoring rate 26/32 precise passes.
The Bulgarian started perfectly at PAOK, but gradually experienced a slight decline as his role in Dikefalos is different to the one he had in Ludogorets. But now he shows that he is fully integrated, which is clear from both his appearances and his statements.
The summer addition of Despontov and the return of Murg gave Lucescu the opportunity to comfortably and successfully navigate the league and Conference League by splitting time and opening up the rotation. These two footballers were able to adequately fill the gap left by Živković and Tyson, who were missing in the last few games.
