After Panathinaikos was defeated by PAOK in the Toumba derby and lost the cup for the second time in a row, the Greek sports press put Fatih Terim at the center of criticism.
Criticisms of Fatih Terim published in the Greek press are as follows:
Kofinas coast: “The information from Turkey came out clearly. It took a month to get to know both sides of Fatih Terim’s coin. On the plus side, the aura he radiated was his belief in the plan and his team’s main goal of winning the championship. Here are his words of praise for his players.” Add. To the negative side, let’s add the new coaching experiments that bring muscle injuries and the use of players in positions they do not know. I wonder if a balance can be established? Will the term meet everyone’s expectations? For Panathinaikos, there is the rematch with Atromitos in the cup and the derby with Olympiakos next week. “Terim wasn’t winning derbies, but he wasn’t losing either. He broke down against PAOK in Toumba. Whatever risks a coach who loves surprises and secret aces that he believes are in the pockets of his expensive suits will take, the results he will get will be very important.” (Ta Nea)
“PANIC PEOPLE ARE BREATHING THROUGH THEIR NOSE”
Nikos Silvermakopoulos: “I think many fans’ belief that Fatih Terim could bring a championship to Panathinaikos, let alone a double, has been shaken. Already, some Jovanovic nostalgics have started to snort. It makes sense… Because everyone was expecting different developments with the Turk’s arrival. On the other hand, of course Everything fell on him, too. It was as if he was carrying a curse with him from Istanbul. He immediately lost about a dozen players. The biggest loss was his forwards, especially Ioannidis. What we can blame, without being unfair to Terim, in the Toumba match was that he did not have a winning plan. He approached the match passively, not to mention fear. He decided to threaten the team in some way after an hour of the match, but we are still not convinced they can win. It is not the sign of a team capable of staying at the top against PAOK, who went into the match with traces of lack of self-confidence. Because It happened: PAOK won by facing Panathinaikos, but still Terim said “don’t worry” after the match. We’ll see.” (Live Sport)
Antonis Karpetopoulos: “I read a lot of exaggeration about Fatih Terim – exaggeration and unfair. Panathinaikos’ match against PAOK was a real match in which Terim showed his hand, perhaps more than any previous match in which Panathinaikos had Terim. Turkish coach He did what he always did: when he saw that his team was going to lose, he changed the situation drastically by playing on organized chaos, which has always been his favorite tactic. The term is not a coach who does strange things at the starting level, never has been. But his trademark has always been his unexpected interventions during the game He does all of this to encourage his team to play more aggressively, taking big risks, of course. You probably don’t like those risks (and they seem completely ridiculous when they don’t result in a win), but that’s the Term. But it would be a mistake to expect a 71-year-old man to change the way he does business. Many Panathinaikos fans have started to love Jovanovic’s football in recent years, I find this logical because Panathinaikos gained an identity and personality while he was on the bench. However, Jovanovic’s football has nothing to do with Terim’s football and you cannot expect this from Panathinaikos as long as the Turkish coach is at the head of the team. So there are two things you can do. The first is not to accept Terim and as a result to stop watching Panathinaikos. The second is to try to understand it and criticize it with the respect it deserves.” (Sports day)
“TERIM WAS FRUSTRATED, HE LOST HIMSELF”
Christios Menglidis: “Another failure in a derby for Panathinaikos. With the change of coach, the Turkish coach was expected to bring a better atmosphere to a club that is looking for successes that it has not been able to achieve so far. In order not to go down in history as a prestige success achieved only against Olympiacos, Atromitos away He has to win.” (Fos)
Aris Nikolakis: “It is true that PAOK has proven that they are now one or two classes above Panathinaikos. This could turn the derby into a downhill race. PAOK was playing Panathinaikos, not OFI, Giannina, Volos or Panatholikos. Individually, Lucescu also said It is true that he won the mind games he played with Fatih Terim. The Turkish coach was a bit arrogant (was he?). He overestimated the potential of his players in the first place. As soon as the score was 1-0, he changed his mind, got worried, lost himself thinking that bad things would happen. He made three changes at half-time. “Romanian coach Razvan Lucescu was calm. PAOK had the upper hand. The score was 1-0 without Lucescu regularly changing anything. He knew the team inside and out. And he dominated the match.” (Metrosport)
