And now PAOK!
THE Olympic celebrated with his people, who returned to “G. Karaiskakis” after about two months, a very important victory with 1-0 against Ferentzvaros with a goal by El Kaabi, making the first step towards qualification to the “16” of the Conference League.
The Piraeus from today they turn their attention to Sunday’s match (18/2, 20:30) against the “double-header of the North” in Toumba for the 23rd matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, as their request for a postponement was rejected by the board of the cooperative.
Their mini-preparation for this match starts today, for which they will have the opportunity to work in today’s training, but also in Saturday’s training. Where he will clarify the landscape in terms of the footballers he will have at his disposal Jose Luis Mendilibar. THE Retsos he was in the squad for the game against the Hungarians, although he was not 100% ready, but probably by the time of the Toumba match he will have covered the lost ground.
However, even if he is ready, the duo in the center of the defense may not change. Since on the one hand the Karmo is the point of reference in Olympiakos’ defense at the moment, performing very well in Thursday’s match, while o Doe he also performed well against Ferencvaros. In addition, it is recalled that Kini was left out of the mission due to a problem and updates on his condition are awaited.
Medilibar did not use Ciquinho in his debut and it seems that he made some choices, having the match with PAOK in mind, while some that he will make in the Toumba match are expected to be related to the rematch next Thursday. Of course, he himself did not confirm it in his statements at the press conference.
To a related question, he answered:In no way was I thinking about my second game. This was my first game here and I wanted to win and so to achieve that you pick the players you think are the best so they can get the result you want. In general, you know the team you are taking over, but you never know a player until you have a first training session with him. I used the few days I had here to see which footballers are in the best shape without thinking about the next game».
