Stamatelos: “Olympiacos sent a clear message, they won the derby at the most important moment”

His own comment for his victory Olympiakou against AEK in New Philadelphia, in the final of the regular season of the championship, he did Nikos Stamatelos to News Bulletin 247.

“He won the derby at the most important moment for Olympiakos. It is what we used to say, either a protagonist or a moderator. It was an Olympiacos, pointing in the right direction, but it lacked certain things: it lacked luck, efficiency along with the quality of players. It wasn’t just Hames, or some other players“, the team reporter initially reported and added:

“I can’t understand, for example, why Fortounis hasn’t played since the summer. We now have an Olympiako who has sent his message and there are 30 points up for grabs. If he does his best, he doesn’t care what others do in the rest of the matches. He may be third, but he sent a clear message».

He then underlined: “He gives the management and the fans the right to believe in the turnaround, despite the problems with which he started the season and achieve his goal. I’m not saying they are favourites, Panathinaikos is the favourite, but when you are Olympiacos, you are the champion, you have the right to be optimistic. The thing is, he still has significant absences in the playoff opener».

And he concluded by saying:If it starts with Volos and X comes an AEK-Panathinaikos derby, then it will further reduce the difference from the leading teams, and a negative result of the others will carry it for two weeks due to the interruption of the championship…».
