Nikolakopoulos: “Olympiacos almost always qualifies when it has won the first match”

His latest news Olympiakouin transcript and competitive level in view of it tonight’s match with Genk in Belgium, transported by Kostas Nikolakopoulos to News Bulletin 247.

Initially, the team’s reporter spoke about the transfers, with the arrival of Eze and Scarpa, as well as about the persistence of Piraeus for the acquisition of Francisco Ortega.

Mainly, though, he focused on the great game against the Belgians, stressing that the manager and the players know they will have periods where they will suffer from Genk and that they will have to overcome that pressure as best they can.

At the same time, he emphasized that in all of its last 11 European matches, in knockout games, Olympiacos qualified when it had won the first match, recalling the pairs with Neftsi, Slovan, Omonia, PSV, Krasnodar, Basaksehir, Lucerne, Burnley, Partizan, Rijeka and Aruka, while the last time he was eliminated in a knockout was 9 years ago, by Manchester United (2-0 and in England 3-0).

Finally, Kostas Nikolakopoulos commented that we should also be ready for penalties, recalling that in the previous two years, out of the 6 summer qualifiers, half of the “red and whites” played the qualification on penalties, with one elimination (Ludogorets) and two qualifiers (Slovan and Apollo Limassol).
