Joan Cañellas, no substitute for class
Who knows never forgets and Joan Cañellas doesn’t stop surprising.
The Spanish player is 35 years old but demonstrated that age is just a number and talent and confidence always speak louder. When his team needed it most he showed up.
It was a tough game. We made lots of changes in the first half. AEK tried to attack and they were better than the first game. We tried to adapt in the game. In the second half it was a big fight. We might have been a bit luckier than AEK and won the game.
