EPO for elite playoff umpires: “We approved the proposal, a self-evident condition that KED appoints them”

Published

The EPO said in a statement that there is indeed an agreement with the Super League for the arrival of elite referees, with the apparent condition that the Hellenic Football Federation appoints the referees.

The EPA, in its announcement shortly after the Super League announcement, stated that there was indeed approval of the Super League’s proposal for the arrival of Elite 1st Category umpires, with the apparent proviso that this was the case the Hellenic Football Federation is the one who appoints the referees.

“The Hellenic Football Federation announces that a meeting has been held between the President of the EPO, Mr. Panagiotis Baltakou, and the President of the Super League1 and the Vice-President of the EPO, Mr. Vangelis Marinakis, on the arrival of foreign referees of yesterday’s matches and in view of the remaining nine games of the playoffs.

Mr. Marinakis proposed that SL1 assist, with EPO approval, to secure the arrival of elite or A-category umpires from the six advanced leagues. The President of the EPO replied that the above proposal was subject to the obvious condition that the selection and appointment of arbitrators would always be made by the KED/EPO.

In this matter too, of course, due to the EPO’s collective decision-making, the Professional Football Committee will be convened and discussed to make a relevant decision, whether positive or negative.

The same topic will be on Monday, March 27th. discussed at Mr. Bennett’s meetings with the presidents of the teams claiming the title.”

Vida is like good old wine: he cleans up the defense and attack for AEK with excellent performances

Published

By

Domagoi Vida scored again for AEK against Aris, showing that despite being 34 years old, he can prove to be crucial for the Union not only in defense but also in attack, setting a career high.

AEK defeated Aris at the OPAP Arena and continued their winning streak in the Stoiximan Super League. Her task against Thessaloniki was not easy as she struggled to score, but once again this year Domagoi Vida netted for Union.

The Croatian centre-back scored his fourth goal of the season for the yellow and black and is well on his way to achieving a career high during this time. His most successful season was 11 years ago, when he played half a season with Dinamo Zagreb and the second half with Dinamo Kiev.

His second-best scoring season came three years ago (2020/21), when he scored six goals at Besiktas, his last stop before moving to AEK in Greece.

One of his two headers was enough to decide the game

Domagoi Vida played alongside Mukudi in central defense for another game, but was not restricted deep behind midfield, as shown in the Opta stats/perform action table.

AEK: Vida is like good old wine, clean in defense and attack for Union

The reason for this is that Aris stood quite deep on the pitch, especially in the first half, and in addition to the full-backs, the stoppers were often in front of the midfield. Overall it had 76 actions with the ball (three in the Cuesta penalty area) and 59/66 precise passes.

In the game against Thessaloniki, the Croatian central defender had two final attempts with a header, as in addition to the goal, he also had the header after a foul by Eliasson in the 22nd minute. He built his offensive line with an excellent defensive performance four recoveries And four thefts.

The static phases and the presence of Vida

Unlike last season, AEK has scored several goals from its air force this year, with Almeida working a lot with his players throughout the year.

Significantly, he has scored nine goals from set pieces, either through direct delivery or from a header or header in front of goal. Galanopoulos’ historic goal in Zagreb also started from a corner, but before the Greek midfielder took the ball, Araujo and Pizarro exchanged the ball.

Apart from the four penalties scored in the league, this does not include Vida’s equally historic goal against Dinamo Zagreb at the OPAP Arena, which started with Livakovic’s intervention on Garcia’s penalty.

The Croatian central defender scored the two goals in the league with a header (he also scored two in the European Cup) and scored a total of five goals this way. In front of him in this part is only “little” Mohammadi, who has six headers and also scored a goal against Asteras.

In this way, AEK has found a way to solve Gordian connections in complex defenses, but also to “camouflage” the problem it has with the goal. She has seen rapid improvement in this area compared to last year, but overall she needs to increase her productivity to get what she deserves.

Carvalhal speaks to the players and focuses on a positive debut

Published

on

By

Carlos Carvalhal started with the Olympiakos Piraeus footballers in Rentis in a four-on-four system and is trying to pass on his philosophy to the red and whites through the training sessions.

Carlos Carvalhal has a lot of work ahead of him, both in competition (to find the balance between defense and attack) and mentally, because it is obvious that the team was affected by the heavy defeats against PAOK and Freiburg, but also by the, what happened last month, especially after the break in the derby with Panathinaikos.

The experienced coach, in his first one-on-one conversations with some Olympiacos players (as more will follow, with all players by the end of the week), points out that a reaction is needed from them and emphasizes that he is very confident in his quality and his potential squad.

What does Carvalhal focus on?

The 58-year-old coach is very focused on the desire for victories in the upcoming games in the league and Europa League, knowing that they will bring points and confidence to the players and change the entire atmosphere in the Piraeus team.

Carvalhal emphasizes to the footballers that they must all move forward together, united as one fist, and points out that in his eyes all players are equal and will take advantage of their opportunities. He also sent the message that Rentis has a lot of work to do, especially in the blocking part of the game.

Olympiacos is an attacking team by nature, but Carvalhal is aware that he needs to combine good football with successful results in order to work calmly and slowly pass on his ideas to the red and whites.

At the same time, it is clear that appropriate steps must be taken in the January transfer window, as there are positions where the Piraeus team needs quality reinforcement.

What results did Carvalhal achieve in his premierships in the teams he worked with?

Carvalial is preparing for his Olympiacos debut, which cannot be ruled out after the suspension by the referees in the match against Batska Topola in Karaiskakis.

In any case, it will be interesting to see what results the Portuguese coach has achieved in his premierships with the teams he has coached over the last 23 years and what system he has used (without Espinho, Fremunde and Vizela).
