THE Jose Luis Mendilibar and his associates went from the airport to “G. Karaiskakis” to watch his match Olympiakou with OFI (4-0). The Spanish coach, who has been in an open line with Darko Kovacevic for the last few days, is rolling up his sleeves as of today.
Today the program includes recovery, so the new coach of Piraeus will have at his disposal three training sessions, from Monday to Wednesday, to prepare his team for Thursday’s game against Ferentsvaros (19:45) at “G. Karaiskakis” for the Conference League.
They are expected to be available in the next game Retsos and El Arabi, who were left out yesterday as they were unprepared, while Doi and Orta are also counted who were left out of the mission yesterday due to punishment and for tactical reasons respectively. Conversely, out of the European list are newly acquired Navarro, Gelson Martins (who is injured), Vezo, Cabral and Abi, as well as Biancone and Brinic.
It is most likely that Mendiliber to rely heavily on Thursday on most players from yesterday’s lineup. The presence of Paschalakis, Rodinei, Ortega, Karmos and of course Retsu in the center of defense must be considered certain. The duo of Ese-Cicinio in the axis will be difficult to break, with Podense, Masoura and Fortouni in midfield and El Kaabi in center forward.
