There’s Potential Here
By: Chris Paraskevas | May 18th, 2009Without the services of Sotiris Kyrgiakos, AEK Athens produced one of their most impressive performances of the season to score what must be considered an upset 1-0 win against PAOK at Toumba.
Ignoring the fact that Fernando Santos’ men haven’t won a derby clash against any of the Big Three (AEK, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos) all season, it was a well-rounded performance from a side who struggled at home to Larissa in mid-week.
Of course, the presence of a world class striker whom the club will struggle to keep in Greece helps but one wonders whether there is potential for squad building if Dusan Bajevic is given the right resources over the summer.
Having said that, the victory was perhaps a product of industry rather than any particular advantage in quality, though Djebbour’s performance was impressive and Majstorovic continues to cap off a wonderful debut season in Greece.
Blanco’s goal was enough, though it probably should have been more against a PAOK side who were perhaps still reeling from the loss against Pana.
Improvements need to be made – and I’m off to a lecture – but it might not necessarily be all doom and gloom for AEKzites out there.
Keep the faith.
