Stamatelos: “Olympiacos should immediately find Huang’s replacement”

His victory Olympiakou over Genk, with which he gained a lead for qualifying for the Europa League play-offs, commented Nikos Stamatelos to News Bulletin 247 and talked about the issue that arose with Huang.

“On a competitive level, we saw more or less what we expected, we saw an unprepared Olympiacos against a team that was more ready. He managed to take the lead, which increases the chances of qualifying for the next phase of the Europa League, and he needs to have more chances in the second leg. Olympiacos showed some elements of what Martinez wanted, like for example the pressure up high“, the team reporter initially reported.

“The goal came early, at 22”, and changed the game’s facts, but this is what he keeps in view of the rematch. At the same time, Paschalakis was ready as needed and Retsos was one of the best of yesterday’s match. Olympiacos managed to keep a clean sheet and I don’t remember when it was the last time they managed to do something like that in an important game. The work, however, is not over and Olympiacos needs a lot of effort to get the qualification and line up in the season, as Martinez has in mind“, he added.

In terms Huang’s caseunderlined: “It forces Olympiakos to enter the market for another midfielder and it is possible that it will be Akuoku, who is heard again after several days in Spain. Going out and demanding a transfer clause from Olympiakos, and whatever team comes with 3 million to be granted. At the same time, he claims that he does not have a contract, while he was rushing through the procedures to get a work permit for another two years and this is far from a professional footballer.

This is a matter that will be dealt with by the PAE legal department and not by Cordon. I believe that a golden ratio will be found and that the next station in his career will be found. He is now in Korea. Reabchiuk was approached by the Russians, who lured him with money, while Huang from the previous season had given a sample line. It is reasonable for him to have an ambition to play in a better league, but the statements and the professionalism of a football player are different».
