The first defeat of AEK in this year's championship proved to be indigestible and “heavy”… Not because it takes the team out of goals (on the contrary, AEK remains in its goals), but because it's been a long time since the team's friends have tasted the bitter glass of defeat. But it was not the only failed result that saddened the team's friends.
It was also the “poor” appearance in Tsirio and the loss of the top, at the same time with the fact that the other competing teams, with the exception of AEL, won this match and reduced the difference that separated them from the yellow-greens. Some of these teams even have less competition. AEK had been defeated in the league for six months.
The last time her players left the field with their heads bowed was on May 4, when they lost in the “Arena” from Omonia (0-1), in a game where the greens of Nicosia were crowned mathematical champions. The question, of course, for AEK is to show character and not be affected by its first defeat this year.
The next two derbies with APOEL at home and AEL away are extremely decisive for the course of the team, although it is still early. It is very important, however, for the team of David Catala to manage to react in the next derby with the recently promoted, APOEL. We remind you that in the match of the 10th matchday, Catala will be deprived of one of his most valuable football players, the Portuguese midfielder Gustavo Lentes, who was sent off in Tsirio.
The Spanish coach has already started thinking about his would-be replacement, with Abraham or Naum being the main candidates. Usually, after a failure, a team wants to report immediately, mainly for psychological reasons, which is why the interruption of the championship is not so convenient for it. In the case of AEK, the current interruption is offered for reorganization of forces, calm and for analysis of the mistakes that were made. It is a fact that the team did not “pull” in the last two games with Ethnikos Achnas inside and Aris outside. Against the Achniotes he did not pay it. Against the strong Mars this year, however, suffered the damage.
