Match24 Mar 2029

The run is over for PAEEK

13 matches without defeat, and then Omonia 29M. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Player ratings26 Mar 2029

No sign of nerves from Nicolas Meșter at 20 — 7.93

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Nicolas Meșter did not need any: 7.93, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Tempers go at PAEEK

Alejandro Avallay was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Words at PAEEK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lazar Selenić is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match24 Mar 2029

A bad afternoon for PAEEK against Omonia 29M

1‑2 to Omonia 29M, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Camilo Acosta is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.39 with 7 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Home is on João Gabriel's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; PAEEK are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Petros Papoulis faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Petros Papoulis after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

The manager makes an example of Kostas Tanoulis

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad1 May 2028

Miguel Montenegro damages knee ligaments — 100 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 100 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad1 May 2028

Tempers go at PAEEK

Luka Svetličić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad1 May 2028

A row about effort at PAEEK

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alex Opoku Sarfo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market1 May 2028

A long bet from PAEEK on Nicolas Meșter

He is 19, and nobody at PAEEK signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout1 May 2028

Alex Opoku Sarfo without the man who signed him

Every squad is half players the manager chose and half players he inherited. Alex Opoku Sarfo was chosen, the man who chose him has gone, and he starts again from nothing under the next one.

Squad1 May 2028

Nicolas Meșter is a square peg at PAEEK

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout1 May 2028

No hiding place for Giorgos Neofytidis

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giorgos Neofytidis, and the manager let it.

The dugout1 May 2028

Stefan Kordić has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at PAEEK will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout1 May 2028

Admir Bajrovic knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Admir Bajrovic trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
