Dutch Eagle

Pablo's lads have some friendlies upcoming: August 26th: Kambaniakos (h) August 28th: Panserraikos (a) September 1st: Veria (h) September 4th: Panserraikos (h) September 17th: Makedonikos (a) André Ricardo, Koutsias and Tsiggaras are in the squad for the first two games.

After the 2-1 loss in Florence FC Twente drew 0-0 in Enschede. So no GS ECL for Christos and co. Should have gone to Feyenoord......

Provided two assists today and hit the post once. GS ECL for AZ and Pavlidis (and Hatzidiakos).

Just saw that the transfer window in Greece closes on September 15th. This is for incoming transfers. If clubs want to sell of loan to another country it depends on the deadline of the other countries. The deadlines differ: Αυστρία 31/8 Δανία 31/8 Ελβετία 31/8 Ινδία 31/8 Κίνα 31/8 Κροατία 31/8 Κύπρος 31/8 Νορβηγία 31/8 Ολλανδία 31/8 Ουγγαρία 31/8 Σλοβενία 31/8 Αγγλία 1/9 Γαλλία 1/9 Γερμανία 1/9 Ιταλία 1/9 Ισπανία 1/9 Κουβέιτ 1/9 Πολωνία 1/9 Πορτογαλία 1/9 Σκωτία 1/9 Μεξικό 5/9 Βέλγιο 6/9 Βουλγαρία 6/9 Σλοβακία 6/9 Τουρκία 8/9 Αυστραλία 13/9 Σερβία 15/9 Κατάρ 15/9 Σαουδική Αραβία 17/9 Ισραήλ 28/9 These deadlines do not apply for free agents. Don't know if we need another player though.

FT 0-1. Colak again in CL. I repeat: Not good enough for us.

And another goal for Colak against PSV (in the return). A tip in but these count too.

31,926 seats are enough. I mentioned it before. Toumba will most of the time NOT be sold out. Last Sunday we had only 8,715 attending the Panetolikos-game. btw, overall the attendance was horrendous on MD 1: 37,571 tickets in 7 matches meaning an average of 5,367 and that with 4 of the big 5 playing at home.

Tsiggaras did very well last year. Unfortunately Charis had problems with his stomach/belly. He just started training again. If he stayes Douglas Augusto has a problem as Charis and Kurtic are like a jigsaw puzzle. They fit and are a good duo.

PAOK and Konstantinos Koulierakis extended the contract till December 31st, 2025. Nothing mentioned about an upgrade which would make sense.

The match was a little awkward yesterday when I do a recap. 81% possession of the bal but not the feeling they were parking the bus. And 0 times offside for both teams. Still like the way we played. We dominated. No stupid cards, or I should say no cards at all though Lyratzis should have been booked. Maybe this is the positive side effect what the early elimination might bring us: time for Lucescu to practice those things that can not be practiced while travelling and preparing for the ECL qualifiers.

Scored today the opener but eventually he and his team lost 3-2 against Emmen.

Did not see it but reminds of the 1999 CL Final. Bayern leading 1-0. Beckenbauer descending to hand out the cup and as he arrives on the pitch the winners cry and the losers celebrate. United did the impossible/unthinkable.

FT 1-0. Played pretty well but should have scored two more. Youngsters Tsaousis and Koulierakis have their clean sheet. Good for them and the whole team.

First mistake Koulierakis and almost the equalizer.

Last subs: Sastre for Lyratzis, who should have received a yellow but got away with it, and Konstantelias for Narey.

Felipe Soares and Oliveira coming in for Dantas and goal scorer Brandon Thomas.

First sub: El Kaddouri coming in for Biseswar.

HT 1-0. Like how we play. Need to score more.

Assist Biseswar. Header Brandon and almost 2-0

Doesn't count. Still 1-0

We start well. 2-0 up already

Scored another European goal for AZ yesterday against Portuguese side Gil Vicente in ECL PO. As AZ won 4-0 it is for 99% sure he will play GS. Unless he is moving. Unconfirmed rumors about Salernitana. Would mean battling against relegation, no European football but probably lots of €€€€. Think he should stay at AZ and wait for a real step up.

Watching Glasgow Cheaters against PSV. Colak scored the equalizer. Not good enough for PAOK.......... smh

Näsberg, Michailidis and Rafa Soares are injured and won't play. Vieirinha and Andrija Zivkovic are suspended.
