The way to create AEK worthy of playing in the jewel
The failure is emphatic and it is the greatest gift the uprooted AEK’s final year could offer in the club’s history. Charlie writes about what the Union needs to get back on track.
Last summer there was a first admission at AEK that the contract cap had to be raised in order to attract players who could make a difference.
The gap to the championship is big
Management brought in his team Steven Cuber, Nordin Amrabat, this time Sergio Araujo returned with a buy and expectations for something big were raised. It quickly became apparent that the steps taken were a very small first step in allowing AEK to maintain its goals. As you can see, the gap to the championship is large. The bigger he shouted, the higher the score.
The gap to the champions was 23 points in the 2018/2019 season, 22 in the 2019/2020 season, 30 last year and at the time of writing the text with eight remaining playoffs in the Super League Interwetten the difference lies at 22 degrees and the trend definitely seems to be upwards.
motivating force the stadium
The commitment of AEK’s management to the creation of the stadium may have played a role, the truth is that the team has lagged behind in terms of organization in the football department in recent years.
There is a serious shortage of staff, in organizational positions for the club, in positions related to the coaching staff and, of course, in key roles for the squad of the team.
Something great has happened in the years that the team has lagged far behind its rivals, especially Olympiacos. The dream, the wish of the friends of AEK came true. In the next season, she will return to her real homeland, which will be modern and will meet the requirements to form a great team.
The creation of the new stadium is of course the driving force the club needs to build its present and its future.
staffing
Of course, it also forces the team management to put in the jewel a team that comes from organized work, a well-crafted team that is worth playing in this particular stadium.
The failure is emphatic and it is the greatest gift the uprooted AEK’s final year could offer in the club’s history. Given the new stadium, there has been a strong lack of proof that the team is working incorrectly and changes need to be made.
From the reports that have been written, but also from my staff, it is clear that next summer will be different for Greek football. I’m writing this now, money will be wasted this summer. The big teams in the country will increase their budgets significantly. Today we talk about AEK, where only the first team does not need the money. Overall better posting is needed, important for running a modern team.
I do not need to continue the nomenclature, sounding names have already been written to return to AEK to offer know-how, organization and acquaintances. To fill the huge gap in off-field organization and operations that exists ahead of Olympiakos and bring the club into the modern age. This summer is very important for AEK. Whatever happens in the playoffs, even if they manage to salvage the European ticket, this year will be an extreme failure.
You cannot request the deductible
It also has to be clear that you can’t ask for miracles in football. It’s not possible to be 29 points behind last season’s champions, on a smaller budget and immediately claim the championship. In this way you create your own conditions of failure and an immediate need for change. Since the year AEK won the championship, no year has managed to be a sequel to the next. There were failures that led to frequent managerial changes and the need to build up from the start.
In football it is very important to have continuity from season to season. If you create conditions for yourself to fail the effort that begins at the beginning of each year and requires an overcoming, you ensure that you fail. Most likely, the coaches that AEK had in recent years were not enough to meet the requirements, but what is certain is that the job given to them had no serious prospects of success.
Create the team that will win the championship next season
The management of AEK should learn from the mistakes made and create the conditions for the new attempt to succeed in the summer. The only way to do this is to make the new technical staff save time. In other words, the club itself should get in touch and pass it on to the world, but also to the team’s reporters, that the goal of AEK in the first year will be to create a team that will win the championship next season will. It is not possible that -22, -25, -29 separating Olympiakos from AEK at the end of the championship will be covered in one moment. This difference did not arise by chance, but was built up through the cooperation of the two teams over the past few years.
Of course, this doesn’t rule out the possibility that if the conditions hit, AEK can make a championship. But he ensures that the next coach in the dressing room becomes strong and can finally develop a football philosophy. He will know that he will not be judged in November, he will not give up a game early that the result will decide his whereabouts.
Movements that create clustering conditions
In order for management to communicate such an option, the steps taken will inherently create conditions for aggregation and time credit. That is, people should understand that with the entire filling of all posts, the credit of time can only bring profit to the team. That’s why we need a coach like Fernando Santos.
No one knows what will happen to the Portuguese who is the dearest wish of AEK’s management, the truth is that his case with Portugal qualifying for the World Cup was significantly difficult.
Regardless of who will be the coach who will bring the team to the new stadium, his name, his CV, the contract that the administration has to issue to bring him to the team must give them the right to demand time credits .
First off, AEK has to admit that it has fallen short of the competition on the goals it has to claim based on its history. Bringing people with know-how into the club and creating conditions so that they have quiet working hours to cover the handicap that has arisen.

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.
