Léo Matos voted 11888 MVP of August
The Brazilian defender earned the first individual accolade of the season, as he was voted 11888 MVP of August by paokfc.gr visitors.
Despite being a newcomer, he adjusted to Toumba from the very first day. He needed no transitional period, was outstanding in the first official games of the season and proved he can make a difference. Léo Matos combined substance and spectacular displays to win over the demanding crowd of PAOK and earn the MVP award for the first month of the season. He prevailed over two strong opponents for the award with 59,29% of the vote.
Second-placed Giorgos Tzavellas started the new season as strongly as he finished the previous one. Consistent in defence, he also scored his first ever goal in European competition: a fine header against FC Dinamo Tbilisi in Toumba Stadium. Gojko Cimirot, the metronome of PAOK in midfield with constant high-level performances to show for, ended up third in the MVP poll.
