Market

Jeremy Antonisse says no to Poltava

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jeremy Antonisse had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Hakim Sahabo agrees terms with Hellas Syros

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around AEK people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Business is business: Aboubakary Koita goes

Olympiacos paid $5.8M and AEK took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

Lorenzo Pirola raises the bar for AEK

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at AEK heard it as anything else.

Squad

Ayoub El Kaabi 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 AEK this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

AEK rebuffed over Balša Popović

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Olympiacos have kept their man, and AEK go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

AEK lose Roberto Pereyra

37 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

When it matters, Harold Moukoudi plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Ante Vuković still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at AEK would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Boardroom

AEK are in Europe

Qualification is done, and next season the floodlights come on for something bigger. A stage for the players, oxygen for the accounts and a passport for everybody else.

Market

Barnabás Varga 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 The request is on a desk at AEK, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

AEK up to position 3

53 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Alexey Miranchuk is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. AEK will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad

A row about effort at AEK

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

Market

Kervin Arriaga has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether AEK can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

Tempers go at AEK

Kervin Arriaga 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Joel Roca

“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.

Market

Jan Repas is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at AEK has been clear about where Jan Repas stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match

Whatever happens, AEK do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

The dugout

Jan Repas: 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.” AEK have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at AEK

Harold Moukoudi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Oleksandr Zubkov wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at AEK hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

A quiet fortnight at AEK

With 8 players away on international duty the sessions are small and the manager can actually hear himself. It is the one break in the season, and it never quite feels like one.

Match

Lovro Majer the difference as AEK beat Olympiacos

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lovro Majer. 1‑0 against Olympiacos, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Sven Köhler makes it 200

200 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Player ratings

Lovro Majer in the eights

A performance of 8.29 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

Michalis Bakasetas has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Michalis Bakasetas on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
