The pivotal Pavlenka
He won a starting berth and lived up to expectations, proving his class between the posts. Jiri Pavlenka is the MVP of August, according to the result of the poll via paokfc.gr.
In the summer, after the departure of Dominik Kotarski, PAOK were already prepared. They had made sure to have an experienced goalkeeper in their squad, with a long career in the Bundesliga, a player who had already received his baptism of fire with the Double-headed Eagle last season. Of course, we are talking about Jiri Pavlenka.
The Czech goalkeeper started between the posts in all the games in August and proved pivotal with some big saves which contributed greatly to PAOK achieving its goals.
In the vote for the MVP of August, the Czech collected 77.33% of the public’s votes and won the first individual prize of the season.
Giannis Konstantelias was in second place, as he continued where he left off last season by tormenting all opposing defenses he encountered, while the podium was completed by Soualiho Meite , who was a dominant force in the midfield area.
