Dutch Eagle

Goal. 2-0!

Just saw an item yesterday on the Dutch National Broadcasting Company about Angelos Charisteas, as today the so called “Dutch Classico” is played. Charisteas is one of the seven players and the only foreigner to have scored for both teams. He returned to The Netherlands and now is co-owner of a bar/restaurant called “Libertine Comptoir de Cuisine” and the concept is that you can drink and eat all day (breakfast, brunch, lunch and diner). Here is how he looks like these days: https://exprofs.nl/charisteas-opent-koffierestaurant/

Pffff. Only 1,641 tickets sold for this game. And only because about 1,000 PAOKtzides showed up after a three our drive from Thessaloniki and a transfer by ferryboat to Corfu. With the gavro playing at this moment just 12,011 tickets sold in 7 games. AEK got 6,014 of them; all the other games had just over 1,000 tickets or less. That is Greek professional football these days......

The first leg of our quarterfinals cupgame against Atromitos will be played on Wednesday January 24th in Toumba at 21:45 EEST.

The tournament just started but it is over for the Greeks. Tsitsipas lost in 3 sets from Shapovalov (1-6, 3-6 and 6-7). Sakkari lost in 3 sets from Siniakova (2-6, 7-6 and 4-6).

Paschalakis 7 official games for us: 7 clean sheets!

With this win we are 11 points clear of #5 of the table with 13 games left. European football (EL) therefore is almost secured. But I want more.

Crossbar Mauricio.

Campos out. Biseswar in.

I did not know him but here are some trivia about him: Tsitsipas has won a total of five ITF singles Futures titles as well as six ITF doubles Futures titles so far in his career. His main career highlights include being the junior number 1 in the world.Tsitsipas has also had many successful matches on the junior tour, winning The Boy's Wimbledon doubles event with his partner Kenneth Raisma in 2016. Tsitsipas is the son of a Greek father (Apostolos Tsitsipas) and a Russian mother, former pro-tennis player Yulia Sergeyevna Salnikova. His grandfather, Sergei Salnikov, was a Soviet football player and manager. He is 19 years old.
