Almeida After Asteras Tripolis – AEK: ‘It’s a Joy to Watch Mantalos Play’

AEK dominated with a 3-0 victory at home in the 24th competitive match of the Super League, taking a significant step towards the top of the standings. Matias Almeida praised Petros Mantalos after the game. Following his winning goal in the previous competitive match, Petros Mantalos came on as a substitute against Asteras Tripolis and transformed the game for AEK, forcing Matias Almeida to express admiration. In his post-match statements, Almeida said, ‘I am always grateful to the people, especially when they support the team. Personally, I am very happy. It was a tough match. The opponent changed their strategy tonight, playing with five defenders. We were patient, wanting to exploit the spaces, and we did it well. When Asteras had one player fewer, we played even better. All players were ready. Regarding Mantalos, he reads the game very well. When the ball passes through his feet, it’s a joy to watch him play.’
