Comment by Demis Nicolaides

“AEK did not have many players on a good day, especially in the midfielders. Olympiacos had Essé and Tsikinho. AEK had Athanasiadis on a good day. AEK had solutions from the bench, with Mandalo and Eliasson crossing and combining.” On goal, with the management of the game as well. Olympiacos was better, they made four big stages. AEK expected that they would need some time due to the interruption. I think they will start to accelerate again. In AEK's goal, I think Ritsos should not have avoided the card. It could have been To be fired because with a draw things would have been different. Now Olympiacos was far behind. It was not finished 100%. If Panathinaikos beat AEK Athens there would be hope. Last year Olympiacos won with AEK in several stages. Now it lost without having AEK no chances.

Olympiacos' changes did not go badly. Olympiacos got him where he wanted the match, but he did not get a result. If AEK wins on Wednesday, the chances of winning the championship are very high. “In the next two games, if AEK gets four points, it will strengthen its position even more.”
