Victim of a big surprise from him Apollo of Smyrna fell the Olympic, who was caught asleep, as a result of which he made his second gel in the championship, having, at the same time, his third loss (0-0). With Verhulst proving MVP of the match.
The analysis of the podium coach
*Verhulst stopped him. The Belgian came from the ice and Ολυμπ froze Olympiakos. Although he has not been a key player for Apollo for a long time, he became a hero for Apollo against the champion of the championship. He was there whenever he needed to, enduring the pressure that Olympiacos exerted from time to time. Some of his surgeries were difficult and large. As in the contact effort of Mandi Kamaras in 12 ‘, in the shot of Bouhalakis in 32’, but also in the head of Tikinios in 61 ‘, while in 73’ he saw with great relief El Arabi failing from the heart of the opponent’s area.
*Superior, but it was not enough. Olympiakos believed, as it seems, that it would have an easy afternoon against Apollon Smyrni. He was hypnotized by the fact that he had a much inferior opponent against him, who became much weaker due to countless absences of. Playing, the “Light Brigade”, with just five players on the bench, having players from the Academies in his lineup, but also necessarily most of his transfers in the original squad, in order to cover the holes. At a time when there were only five players on the bench along with the substitute goalkeeper. Olympiacos also had it several-significant absences, due to coronavirus, injuries and Copa Africa, but there is no comparison, both quantitatively and qualitatively, as well as due to the dynamics of the two opponents.
These data, instead of standing in favor of the Piraeus, worked against them. He may have been the boss of the match for a long time, but they did not play as much as they needed to, as it turned out. They did not last in their game, they did not have the necessary dedication, while they also lacked efficiency. By Verhulst to stand in their way, they did not take full advantage of their opportunities and remained at “zero”. However, Olympiakos in all three championship matches this year, in which it had losses, brought them, he was superior, with clearer cases, the 0-0 with Atromitos and today with Apollon. There were others, such as Lamia outside, where he played with… fire, but he did not burn and a gel would make more sense.
* Mandi Kamara to be re-examined. The 24-year-old midfielder is totally below expectations this year. It does not remind to nothing the old, good Kamaras. With the absence of Agibu Kamaras due to the Africa Cup of Nations, logic says that he will find more space. If it continues as the guess will not be confirmed. Against Apollo he was a key player, but a change was made with the break. Obviously, Martins was not satisfied, although the midfielder from Guinea was not indifferent, it is not that he did not try, but his mind was… elsewhere. He also lacked teamwork as well he overdid it with the shots at the start. Reminiscent of γου unripe and enthusiastic Kamara of the first season, while you were looking for his place in the field. He has proven to be a player who can play extremely well as a hidden form, but today it only functioned as such, completely abandoning his duties as a midfielder, with the result that there is no balance in the game of Olympiacos. He had one chance (possibly more) to win shares in view of the sequel and certainly did not take advantage of it.
On the contrary, o Βρουσάι, he may not have been so substantial, since he lacked something in the final effort, but he definitely gained points with his game. He had a better face than other games in which he was used. He created cracks and was one of the leaders, if not the leader of Olympiacos.
* El Arabi is fatal, but… the Moroccan had the opportunity to beat Olympiakos again, when the situation had become very difficult. But he wasted a great opportunity in 73 ‘. Of those who score 9/10. It was a bad day at work for the 34-year-old striker, but everyone has one. Usually, it’s the one who he swallows the Piraeus, but it does not make sense to do it… forever. His supporters must also be found.
