The image he “sees” that Panathinaikos and Olympiacos will have in the Leoforos derby, on Sunday (4/2, 9:00 p.m.), said the Demis Nikolaidis talking to him Hello Tsuchika on his “Fair Play” show News Bulletin 247.
The veteran ace noted that he believes the game will be decided on details, like the two previous meetings between the two teams in the Betsson Greek Cup. He explained, of course, that the new acquisitions of the “eternals” may bring changes to the picture in relation to those matches. He also stood in Fatih Terim.
“I want to see what Terim “learned” from the previous derbies, I mention this because he came last compared to Carvalhal. I expect similar matches with the Cup, which will be decided in detail.
Panathinaikos is definitely a more composed team, because as I said before, Terim came to a ready-made team, while Carvalhal, so he has some foundations. Olympiacos has raised the pressure and mood for running. Panathinaikos has also done it, but it costs them a bit to create. We also saw it in the Cup games, where we didn’t see many phases, they weren’t very beautiful matches, there was tension. Both games were intense and one was decided on penalties.
The previous two derbies had a poor passing rate, due to the fact that there was also a lot of pressure. Olympiacos will not let their players create freely. Rightly so, because there are defensive gaps. Tell me doesn’t Panathinaikos have it? But it’s a more layered team.
Transfers can be a game changer. New faces like Tasos Bakasetas with his shot, a new contract for Olympiakos. And in Olympiakos, with Karmos, Orta and Tsikinios playing, we may see another team, with extra talent. Transfers may change the image of the two teams“, commented Demis Nikolaidis, among others.
