The coach on the podium: Looking at the edge of the bench

They said the last word Valbouena and Olympic. The goal of the French ace gave the victory to Piraeus against Volos, prevailing 2-1, thus maintaining the +6 from the second position, where the AEK.

The coach of the podium analyzes

* Valbouena’s class spoke. The French ace made the difference, who with the excellent foul execution tilted the scales in favor of Olympiacos, giving the three-pointer to Piraeus, in a stressful game for them. The former international ace has reached 37, now rarely plays a key player, while usually when he does something good, he does it through a static phase. His quality, however, is unquestionable, while it is impressive that a player with such performances abroad, playing at this age in the Greek league, still has the spark inside. Always giving his best and putting his feet on the fire. Martins made a triple change after the break and put -among others- Mandy Kamara and Masoura, while in the 60 ‘Valbouena entered. Certainly, having such solutions on the bench is a “weapon”.

* Smiled in both thrillers. Olympiakos took two marginal games in just 24 hours, scoring the winning goal in both matches shortly before the end. With Tikinios in 89 ‘against Fenerbahce and in 90’ + 1 ‘against Volos. Although in both cases he was not impressive, he achieved his goal, having faith and a clear mind until the end, while, of course, in order to get such victories, the game must go to you.

* Reabchuk in everything. And what the Moldovan has not heard from time to time, but does not seem to be afraid. Against Fenerbahce, he was the top scorer of Olympiacos, but the lights fell on Tikinios due to the winning goal in the end, while they fell fatally on Valbouena today. Reabschuk has played a very good game overall and is in the 1-0 win penalty and gets the foul from which Valbouena scores. He has some striking weaknesses, but with self-denial he camouflages them and he is definitely a player who always gives things to his team.

* We know this Volos. After his impressive start in the championship, in which he counted 4/6 victories, he made a big belly, as in addition to the results, his image was also negative. The highlight was the game with Volos, which lost 2-0 and could easily have conceded double goals. He had to win the championship from October 2, while the last positive result was 4-4 with PAOK on 17/10. After a while he was combative and made a good appearance, playing nice football (on the verge of completely anarchic at times) against a very strong opponent.

* Can now rely on Lala. For a long time the Frenchman was unreliable, unstable and in many games you were looking to find him. See what he gave to Olympiakos. Finally, although a change was made by Martins today (obviously due to fatigue), he is one of the leaders of his team. If Gary, with whom they work with their eyes closed, had done him a favor, he would have assisted again, while he also helps in defense. Since Olympiacos did not have a stable position for the right back, now they can feel relief with the rise of Lala.
