The difficulty with which Greek teams face their European games are now proverbial. PAOK, a team that once passed with doubles from seats such as Arsenal's Highbury, was content with a professional victory to prevail in Gibraltar 3-0 over a team that until then did not even exist on the European football map. Of course, one would say that PAOK sought the professional victory and not the extra fatigue. One would object, however, that the competitive image of the game did not promise much more than the biceps of the North.
The same time, the all-powerful Olympiakos in Greece, in order to succeed in imposing itself on Antwerp, literally spat blood. And when we say Antwerp, we are talking about a team that is about the Belgian Panionios. Not a bad team, on the contrary, historical and militant. But he has suffered from financial problems, relegation and struggles to stay even in the second category. And he has returned to the top division, but in any case he is neither Bruges, nor Anderlecht nor Standard Liege. Not even Genk or Ghent. It is Antwerp and it is fighting for the lead in the big Belgian port, since there is also Beershot, an approximately equivalent team.
And they are alone our two representatives in European competitions. Because everyone else shook a handkerchief early. Even if they faced teams that were considered inferior (see AEK and Mostar).
Bad lies. The dynamics of each league and the potential of each team can have an increasing tendency, to be maximized, only when the competition is real, strong and continuous, that is, within the walls, not in two matches a year. Olympiakos, for example, to have strong competition from PAOK, AEK, Panathinaikos and why not find sticks even in teams at the level of Ionikos, Levadiakos, Volos or Lamia. Only then will it be forced as an organization to present such a healthy competitive image that ensures initiative and a strong chance of winning all games. Beware, not victory. But strong chance of winning. Which means he has to accept even defeat. Every team and not only in the championship and in the cup. This is the secret of success not five good transfers.
In our homelandHowever, what we have been interested in for the last 40 years has been the victory of our team in every way. A situation completely outside not only any special regulation, but also far from any logic of competitive strengthening through competition. As a result of what we see, the contact with the international regulatory competition is lost and the equivalent or approximately equivalent opponents of the Greek teams are no longer the top teams of the big leagues, but the small and medium of the small and medium, or the best teams of the most weak League.
