Squad

Casper Lindstrom keeps Levadiakos in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

Levadiakos spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

Levadiakos out of the cup

Panathinaikos ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match

Anastasios Tsadjaris leads the rout of Volos NPS

3‑0, and Anastasios Tsadjaris took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Levadiakos tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

A fracture rules Angelos Galanopoulos out for 63 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Levadiakos will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

The Levadiakos board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Player ratings

Semih Sinik, 33, rolls back the years — 8.07

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.07 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Words at Levadiakos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anthony Cooper 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.

The terraces

Levadiakos supporters have found a favourite in Apostolos Mandalos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Apostolos Mandalos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Apostolos Mandalos keeps Levadiakos in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 14 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Panagiotis Tsadjaris

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Levadiakos lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

Levadiakos put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Alexandros Vlachodimos asks to leave Levadiakos

“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.

Squad

Jonas Ludwig keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Levadiakos may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom

The Levadiakos board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Market

Evangelos Ioannidis has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Apostolos Mandalos is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match

Levadiakos come up short against Panetolikos

Panetolikos left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

In brief
