On the occasion of today’s game between Olympiakos and AEK in New Philadelphia, Mr Kostas Nikolakopoulos made a remark to News Bulletin 247 for the three previous matches between the two teams in the league, regardless of results that were in absolute balance (0-0, 3-1, 1-3)
AEK had managed to make many more finals than Olympiakos. Total 43 to 17. So an average of 15-5.
“The difference in the finals is big and even if it reaches such a level today, it will not be for the good of Olympiakos. It happens for two reasons:
1st because AEK has much better possession of the ball, which has reached 65 to 70% or the smallest 53 to 55% and secondly, because Olympiacos in order to avoid AEK’s high pressing plays with deep balls towards Bakabou, who can he is by far his most dangerous chaser but due to his size and height, he loses those balls to Mukudi and Vida and then the AEK players take the second balls from the saves and start new attacks, resulting in Olympiacos being in position defense.
This is the first thing that Anigo needs to fix today, perhaps by using more dynamic and athletic players than he usually plays“, he characteristically commented.
Regarding the lineup, he said that things are not clear, but based on some indications he would see the same defense (Tzolakis, Rodinei, Papastathopoulos, Doi, Ramon), two of Embila-Huang-Kasami-Samasekou in the center, Fortouni, Bakabou in front and two from Masura-Biel-Brusai.
