Reaction time for him Olympic; The “red and white” are hosted by Bullet in “Panthessaliko” for the 13th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League (4:30 p.m., Cosmote TV, bwinSPORT FM, www.sportfm.gr) and want to put behind them the dark night in Freiburg and the 5-0 defeat last Thursday.
THE Marblestarting with the home side, is coming off a 1-0 home win against Panserraikos in a match postponed for Matchday 7 and is on a two-game unbeaten run against Angel Lopez on their bench. The Magnesia team looks improved and presents a better face now. Still, he needs a lot of work and points to keep moving away from the danger zone.
At home, he has a record of 2-1-3, having achieved his only victories in “Panthessaliko”, while he has scored 8 goals and conceded 10. In today’s match, however, Lopes has to deal with too many absences, since he does not count on … well-known injured Siabani, Papadopoulos, Barrientos who was injured in the last match, but also the suspended Tahato, Tsokani and Deletic. Instead, Garcia returned to the mission after serving his sentence, as did the Cornets, Bertoglio.
THE Olympic on his part, he is in a bad… mood. The very heavy defeat by Freiburg brought clouds for him Diego Martinez, who will hardly be able to turn the tables and remain on the team’s bench after… Monday. The search for a successor has begun, Carlos Carvalhal is one of the techniques that have been proposed, but he is not the only one. Of course, all this is run by Antonio Cordon, his staff and the management, with players and technical team focusing on how they will get a reaction today at “Panthessaliko”, where more than 5 thousand fans are expected to be there.
“The worst game of my career this against Freiburg. I have a lot of faith in this team”, said, among others, the bitter Diego Martinez on Cosmote TV, who is now in a very difficult position. The Spanish coach does not count Pontense, Scarpa, Porosso, Freire, Jovetic in the match. Away from home, the “red and white” have 3 wins and 1 draw in this year’s league, while they only have wins against teams outside the big-5! They have never lost against Volos and in the capital of Magnesia they have a record of 4-1-0, while overall against Thessaly they are 8-2-0 for the championship.
