Agustín Urzi was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 35. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Levadiakos taken apart
0‑3 to AEL Larisa, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Tempers go at Levadiakos
Anastasios Georgiadis 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.

Words at Levadiakos training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marios Vichos 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.

Levadiakos promote Anastasios Alexiou from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Anastasios Alexiou has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Leonidas Androutsos joins the Levadiakos first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Leonidas Androutsos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The manager makes an example of Anastasios Georgiadis
“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.
