Giorgos Machlelis (Greek: Γιώργος Μαχλελής, born 10 May 1991 in Waiblingen, Germany) is a Greek footballer who currently plays for Eintracht Braunschweig II.[1]
Club career
Panathinaikos
In 2009, Machlelis was added to Panathinaikos FC first team by coach Henk Ten Cate and followed the team to Yverdon (district), Switzerland for the summer training. He was roommates with another promising youth Robert Stambolziev.[2] He played as right back defender and as defensive midfielder in the friendly games against SpVgg Greuther Fürth and Budapest Honvéd FC without being substituted, and as a last minutes substitute against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.[3][4][5]
Machlelis was registered for the Champions league game against Sparta Prague (July 2009) in Prague,[6][7] and for the Greek Superleague 1st round game against Ergotelis in Crete.[8] Coach Henk Ten Cate seems to have faith in his abilities and will attempt to use him in the starting lineup in future games.[9] The Dutch coach told the reporters "Panathinaikos is working for the future as well, bringing young and talented players who can develop to quality players. Perhaps the best example is Machlelis. He just turned 18. I don't want to put pressure on him, but I believe that so far he is the best young player I have seen in Greece. He is very mature in his game, very intelligent and down to earth personality. One more thing is that he's a good fast learner and a hardworking individual. He's strong and well built, and i have high expectations for him. I will certainly keep him in the squad and he will get some games on his feet this year. He's a very good player with good tactics in his game"[10]
