An “Eh, not like that”, the need for relaxation in AEK and the inappropriate timing for the first

In fact, with that 2-0 lead, last year’s AEK would have beaten Panaitolikos mercilessly in the first 20 minutes. He probably would have left Agrinio with three or even four goals. Today, however, it’s about this year’s AEK.

A team that has taken different paths compared to 22/23, as the European factor, the congestion and the constant losses of the footballers have kept them from the beaten path, which in some pressure games was untenable and even unbreakable. The Union has neither lost what it had nor forgotten or abandoned it. The conditions are different and it is still difficult to demonstrate last year’s impressive style on the pitch.

But are all the above atrocities and speculation about the ending worth it? Without electricity. AEK is an assembled machine, it has players with quality, but very, very simply, it needs to relax above all in the head, because in any case it is difficult to give rights from a comfortable 2-0 and in the end there is that Also An Essence of the Press, again, Petrakis didn’t make that absolutely clear.

Rhythm and poor connection

What AEK clearly lacks is pace. And how can she have it when absences and the amount of matches (which she will no longer have) force her to change faces periodically to test patents out of necessity?

Let’s look at a case in point, which is none other than the Garcia-Zini duo. They can’t even be half as long as the second one. The two goals scored by the Almeidas team were 100% based on quality.

The first bore Garcia’s signature and the second was the face of Niklas Eliasson’s masterful inspiration. What else did AEK get from their attack from then on? Nothing. That’s why Van Weert was chosen because there were no other solutions on the bench.

Gacinovic doesn’t press well, Zini didn’t react, so the burden of deciding the game fell on Eliasson and Levia. There were no more goals, the fatigue was noticeable, Panaitolikos has a good coach and it was natural for him to believe that he could do it.

The first place also needs the right timing

As the end of the game showed, it wasn’t yet time for AEK to climb to the top of the table. Maybe that’s a good thing. Think about how much more weight it would mean for Almeida’s team to keep the lead until the end?

No, that’s good for the yellow and black people who didn’t go to the penthouse. For AEK to repeat last season, they need to stay close to first place, gather their strength and go full throttle towards the end. In other words, intelligent, because it does not present stability in its performance, at least at the given moment.

If he keeps the good face he showed in the first half of the Derby season he will be well on his way. Nothing is over for any team in the Stoiximan Super League.
