Olympiakos: He returns to Austria until… Kordon leaves again

Mission to Austria Heraklis Antipas:

The Olympiacos team under his guidance continues his preparation in Mills, Austria Diego Martinez and in light of the agreements with Kini and Ibora.

The new sporting director of the “red and white” Antonio Cordon, after the agreement for the acquisition of the two Spanish footballers, is expected to be back in Austria on Monday afternoon to be close to the team and maintain contact with the coach for the next movements.

In fact, it will not be surprising if the Spaniard leaves again in case there are advanced negotiations with a central defender and a central striker.

In Friday’s morning training, the focus was on the hard work of the goalkeepers as well as the circulation of the ball.

In the first exercise of the day, the experienced fitness coach, Vangelis Mourikis, who has been with Olympiakos for a lifetime, supervised the passes of the players, who were trying to pass the ball through four small goals.

In the second drill that took place on the larger pitch, the focus was on proper ball movement and how players should move around the pitch.

As for Alexandros Paschalakis, Konstantinos Tzolakis and Thanos Papadoudis, they continued to train under the instructions of their coach Jose Antonio Mengual.

Imbora and Kini are coming, a stopper and forward for Olympiakos are approaching

Ibora and Kini arrive in Athens today on behalf of Olympiakos, which is also approaching the acquisition of a stopper and a center forward.

Ready to complete two transfers is Olympiacos, who today welcomes Vithente Ibora and Kini. The two Spanish aces are expected at 16:55 and 19:40 respectively on “El. Venizelos”, they will pass medical tests, sign, be announced (tomorrow at the latest) and on Tuesday they will travel to Austria to be integrated into the team’s preparation.

The 35-year-old Ibora is intended by Diego Martinez to be the “mind” of Olympiakos in the center area, starting from the back of the team’s game. And the 33-year-old Kinney will be a good additional solution for the two ends of the defense, behind Rodinei and Reabciuk who seem to have the lead for the basic formation.

The “red and whites” do not stop here, since developments are immediately expected for the two necessary additions to the center of defense and the center forward. Antonio Cordon and Diego Martinez have turned their attention to a stopper to lead the team’s defense and within the week we expect this matter to progress and be closed.

As for the centre-forward position, Marcos Andre is the main option, with talks with Valencia well underway and the player preferring Olympiacos to Alaves. The Piraeus have one more goal in mind, a more difficult case that can perhaps proceed regardless of the acquisition of the Brazilian.

The issue of the winger does not seem to be so advanced, since the cases of Kanos and Darder did not have a happy development.
