Only AEK and Panathinaikos did not play this three-day ball. The other three teams once again showed the reasons why Greek football is a distant relative, one that passed and did not touch in relation to the big European few, in relation to the big European schools.
Don't let Levski even dream of the current status of PAOK. Once this team was a club that produced football culture and exported players all over Europe. A genuine exponent of the Bulgarian school at the time. With strong defenders, quality midfielders and fast extreme forwards, Levski. Which has ceased to have this exact competitive image for many years. And he faces a PAOK, a team from Greece with a stable management full of coffers and rich talent on their roster. Or at least that's what the people near the biceps claim. And the result; An easy 2-0 from the XNUMXth minute and the runner-up of Greece is now in danger of being out of the Conference league from the very first pairing.
And Olympiacos in the Champions League? Chew and spit. It should have been equalized by Haifa much earlier. And he is lucky that this did not happen and thus he did not lose, it was kept at 1-1 and he has taken at least a slight lead for the rematch. Of course, this is the image of Olympiakos in the July games. The Greek champion is unlearned from playing so quickly and without two months of planning. Only once has he put on an excellent display at such a competitive moment, in the 3-1 win over Partizan five summers ago. Since then it has been struggling and then consecutive Under 2,5 and marginal draws. Wouldn't he do the same thing this year, when admittedly from his competitive image in the friendlies it is obvious that he needs a lot of work?
And where you say that once again Greek football belongs to the kicker and the cop, comes Ares who was welcoming Gomel. Okay, he didn't play with any team from Italy, Germany, Spain or England. But Aris' game had something very strange and unusual for a Greek team. Anyone who isn't a Martian or a Paoktz and was zapping to their TV, if they came across the game they would sit down and watch it. He had rhythm, he had phases, he had goals. It was a normal football game with as much movement as it takes to keep you from falling asleep, as much as it takes to magnetize the gaze of the fan or even the indifferent passerby who likes the ball.
The final 5-1 reflects exactly what happened in "Kharilau" between Ari and Gomel. One level above, the yellow and black made fun of the Belarusian team and apparently from now on they have booked a ticket for the next phase, where they will face Maccabi who have already done 0-3 away to the Azeri of Zire and are waiting for the Greeks. He, Aris, is currently the most likely of our representatives in Europe to play group ball this year. Not because of a lottery, nor because of ease of organization. But because he is simply playing football...
