Nikolakopoulos: “I expect and believe that Olympiacos will sell his tomari at a high price”

The latest information on the “how” o Olympic is preparing for Sunday’s derby with AEK, Kostas Nikolakopoulos reported to News Bulletin 247. After first mentioning the possible 11 of the red and whites in the match (Paschalakis, Rodinei, Ba, Doi, Reabchiuk, Huang, Samasekou, Fortunis, Biel, Bakabou, Kanos or Masouras) the Piraeus reporter focused on the purely competitive part. He said that the problem that all the teams in Philadelphia have is that due to the pressure exerted by AEK, they find it very difficult to get close to their area, as a result they create very few chances.

“It is no coincidence that AEK has conceded only two goals. One from Ionikos in the 90′ ​​with the score being 4-0 against them, and one with a penalty from Panaitolikos with the score at 2-0 against”he said and continued:

“Nor is it a coincidence that PAOK made two phases, both in the first quarter, while Panathinaikos had two more, one in the 60th minute before AEK’s 1-0 and the crossbar in the 95th minute. And Olympiacos, in its recent defeat in the Cup, had three phases, Gary’s counterattack with the crossbar and the two phases from fouls from bad positioning of the AEK players. So you know in advance that in Philadelphia you will probably have few chances, so you have to be focused and clear minded to score goals. There is no doubt that it is Olympiakos’ most difficult game in the league so far this year, but I expect and believe that he will sell his chest dearly on Sunday.” he emphasized.

Finally, O Kostas Nikolakopoulos he said that Olympiacos need to be very decisive in the set-pieces, especially with the absence of Embila, as Samaseku is not the same in this part of the game either, while about the Italian referee, Mariani, he commented that you cannot say, despite the fact that he is a referee from a major European league that had three matches this year in the Champions League and also Barcelona – Manchester United…
