Aris: The three constants and the multifaceted Jensen

Michalis Grigoriou may have changed several faces in Aris' starting eleven, but three players have managed to be present in all ten first matchdays of the Stoiximan Super League.

Ricardo Vellios, Benjamin Garre and Fredrik Jensen are the only players of the "yellow-blacks" who have not missed a league game. Their presence is constant, although each has reached it through a different path.

Vellios is immovable

Ricardo Vellios is the clearest case. The Portuguese goalkeeper has recorded 953 minutes in the Super League, without missing a single minute, while he also defended Aris' goal in all three Greek Cup games.

His position as a starter under the posts has not been questioned and so far he is one of the constants in Grigoriou's tactical planning.

Garre earned his place

Benjamin Garre's path was different. The Argentine winger needed time to find his rhythm, but from the match against Volos onwards he began to show significant improvement.

He is now a key choice for the right side of the attack, having completed 829 minutes of participation. At the same time, he also offers substance in the creative part, as he has four assists and shares the first place in Aris' relevant list with Uros Racic.

The special case of Jensen

Fredrik Jensen is the most special case of this trio. The Finn is not always a starter, yet he has played in all games and has accumulated 654 minutes.

His most important advantage is his ability to cover different positions. Grigoriou can use him either to manage an absence or to change the formation and style of play during a match.

Jensen may not always be in the spotlight, but his consistency and tactical flexibility have made him one of the most useful units of this year's Aris. His ten appearances in as many matchdays reflect the trust his coach places in him.
