The day before yesterday, the challenges of the playoffs of the European organizations took place. And the news played in all the interested groups. All over Europe. "If the Football Players qualify from the third round against Soccer City, they will find Corner Aise as an opponent in the playoffs." This was published by the foreign portals and that was where it all ended. Informative, beautiful, nice and dry. Without fanfare and paparazzi.
And you also saw the relevant informative electronic and printed media of the country where the orange blossom grows and blooms. In which there was a two-and-a-half column for the last training of the team in view of the third qualifying round. A single pillar for the opponent. And 3-4 pieces, two-column and three-column, for the new opponent. As I tell you. "With Hibernian or Rijeka, PAOK in the playoffs". And "The winner of Malmo - Rangers is faced by Olympiacos for the group". Others, terrible and terrible, went further: "With Rangers Olympiakos, the Scottish opponent of the red and whites does not lose from Malmo". Terrible things. There was no Ludogorets. Which Bulgarians? "You throw them a pair of leggings and tights and" screw them "as the truckers used to say.
And of course reality comes and parties in such behaviors and circumstances. And it unfolds those who do not anticipate being serious and measured. And Bochimians went yesterday and made a very nice 2-0 to PAOK that if it were not for Oliveira to make it 2-1 final it would be a half-exclusion score. Not that it does not turn. A serious and good PAOK returns from 2-1 and 2-0 with Bochimians. And from 3-0 he returns. I sign this. But serious and good PAOK does not mean PAOK LAST FIVE YEARS. Do not tell you a decade. Because in recent years in Greece, football is fun to spit on.
And the same with Olympiakos. 1-1 came with Ludogorets and goes for the overthrow in Bulgaria. But the match could easily have come 1-3. In the end, the Bulgarians lost 1-2 to convert the rematch into a training double. And let the Greeks stay to read the endless tributes to Gerrard's Rangers and other such glosses. Because we are them. Greeks. The lighthouse that does it all in words. He votes with words, he jumps with words, he wins the ball with words. Why in practice? Mourning…
