The Iranian left back was one of the leaders of AEK in the last two matches, he left Pelion behind, but sooner or later both will make room for whoever is acquired.
As in the case of Lazaros Rota, so also in this one, that of Stavros Pelios, Matias Almeida provided a great foundation to support the desire to create and establish a Greek duo on the flanks of the defense.
Rota’s continued rise has also been driven by the manager’s insistence that he remain the first choice at right-back, which was demonstrated last summer when he preferred to back-up Odubajo rather than acquire him. someone who would come to “overtake” Lazarus.
Likewise for Pelios, after the team failed to convince Giannoulis despite the huge contract he was offered, they abandoned the idea of adding an extra left-back when they were now banned from Europe.
The decision was to support Pelios, to be the first choice and to have behind him the security of the experienced and valuable Hadjisafi.
Lately, however, the Iranian has once again become the driver of the race. With a steal and an assist to Peristeri for the winning goal of Levia, with a goal-poem against Asteras, opening the scoring and having a post later.
The Iranian offers midfield services that Pelios does not provide to AEK, even though the former PAS Giannina fullback is generally positive in his blocking duties.
However, it seems that now that we are entering a tough situation, with particularly critical and demanding games, Hadjisafi is once again the left back of the league and Pelios the “reserve”.
The lead for Olympiakos and the addition of Genaris
For AEK and Hajisafi’s playing situation, it is also particularly positive that he is no longer called up to the Iranian national team. Obviously he himself would like it, but heading towards turning 35 (next February) it is certainly good that he is not burdened more, especially at this stage when the Union wants him “fresh” and ready for battle.
He avoids trips to North Korea and Kyrgyzstan, where Iran will play, which would have meant extra fatigue for him, so by staying back he is now clearly favored to start in the 24-hour derby.her November against Olympiakos.
Beyond that, this will logically be his last season with AEK, unless it is decided to stay regardless of the addition of another left back, which is imperative, necessary and perhaps planned. The attempt is made for January and it will obviously be a transfer of a footballer who will come to overtake the existing ones.
It is obvious that the effort to develop Pelios will not be abandoned, but it is also clear that the Union must look to its next day in that position by acquiring a full-back who will be younger than Hadjisafi, experienced but also of more quality than the existing ones, combining better elements both offensively and inhibitingly.
There are options, football manager Javier Ribalta has such players on his list, one of which is River Plate’s Enzo Dias, for whom there is also a positive recommendation from Matias Almeida.
However, the 29-year-old Argentine is not playing alone, on the contrary, there are stronger names that are being watched and are serious candidates for the position.
