Match29 Sep 2029

The wait goes on for AEL Larisa

14 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad1 Oct 2029

Bas Stengs decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match26 Sep 2029

Cup progress for AEL Larisa

A 2‑2 win over Asteras, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match29 Sep 2029

Chastening afternoon for AEL Larisa

A 0‑4 beating by Aris Thessaloniki was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad1 Oct 2029

A one-man rearguard from Grigorios Mitroglou

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market1 Oct 2029

Kidani asks to leave AEL Larisa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad1 Oct 2029

Yvann Maçon in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at AEL Larisa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings1 Oct 2029

Jakub Stasiak in the eights

A performance of 9.18 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad1 Oct 2029

No hiding place for Yvann Maçon

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

Match8 Sep 2029

The wait goes on for AEL Larisa

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match8 Sep 2029

Chastening afternoon for AEL Larisa

A 1‑7 beating by Panathinaikos was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market10 Sep 2029

Stefan Pirgić puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AEL Larisa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market10 Sep 2029

Felipe Augusto’s move to OFI falls through

The deal that would have taken Felipe Augusto to OFI has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to AEL Larisa with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Ivo Molinari says AEL Larisa went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Bas Stengs keeps AEL Larisa in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market10 Sep 2029

Charalabos Georgiadis has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around AEL Larisa they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Stefan Pirgić wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and AEL Larisa know it.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Tempers go at AEL Larisa

Yvann Maçon 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.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Yevhenii Kucherenko: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AEL Larisa have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market19 Feb 2029

Sérgio Raphael asks to leave AEL Larisa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match17 Feb 2029

No end in sight to AEL Larisa's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at AEL Larisa has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Antoine Vauleon: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” AEL Larisa have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Mamadou Gning runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Tempers go at AEL Larisa

Yvann Maçon 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.

Match17 Feb 2029

Volos NPS take the points off AEL Larisa

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Yevhenii Kucherenko lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Market19 Feb 2029

AEL Larisa buy the years ahead of Bas Stengs

He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad19 Feb 2029

“I want to play”: Luciano Sokolic speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
