The plan was based on&#8230; <strong>Iberian <\/strong>logic. It was extremely ambitious, but there was also a huge slice of rusk involved. And in the end, after a woeful first half of the season, the plan was abandoned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Borja Jimenez<\/strong>, the young and ambitious <strong>Spanish<\/strong> technician, failed to produce the goods in his first big professional project, the team did not get the results he wanted, and the style of play was not pretty. Because of all of this, the 34-year-old <strong>Spaniard<\/strong> was jettisoned in early <strong>December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The club&#8217;s board of directors decided to switch to a more experienced and proven solution. <strong>Milan Rastavac <\/strong>was appointed and essentially try to salvage what is left of the season and keep the club in the top flight. The <strong>Serbian<\/strong> technician moved to <strong>Arcadia<\/strong>, having shown plenty of promise and good results at <strong>Xanthi. <\/strong>He has taken on the challenge with relish, and has already began producing good work and results from day one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asteras<\/strong> has looked in much better shape than it has been all season, has managed to improve the team&#8217;s style of play, and the team is gradually forming the kind of identity that the new coach wants to being out of the players. All the club has to do now is find consistency and get a string of positive results together in order to move away from the lower echelons of the table.<\/p>\n<p>The roster has plenty of quality. <strong>Geronimo Barrales<\/strong>, <strong>Mark Fernandez<\/strong> and <strong>Luis Fernandes<\/strong> stand out in the midfield, with the former leading the club&#8217;s scoring charts with eight goals, while <strong>Adrian Riera <\/strong>and <strong>Eneko Capilla<\/strong> are the top creators in the team with four and three assists respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Arcadians<\/strong> currently lie 12th in the standings with 18 points after collecting five wins, three draws and 10 defeats, scoring 24 times and conceding 27 goals in the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rastavac<\/strong> is without <strong>Capilla<\/strong> for the match at the Toumba after he suffered an ACL injury early in the season, but both <strong>Barrales<\/strong> and captain <strong>Juan Munafo<\/strong> are also out of action with injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paokfc.gr\u2019s Rival Analysis column puts the magnifying glass on this weekend\u2019s opponents Asteras Tripolis, giving you the lowdown on everything you need to know about the Arcadians ahead of our Super League Matchday 19 contest at the Toumba.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":563473,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[1519,2250,3886,5815],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
