The sign from the debut is positive of Jose Luis Mendilibar on his bench Olympiakouwho showed a different side in the game against Ferencvaros and prevailed 1-0 in the first leg of the knockout phase of the Conference League.
The Piraeus team managed to get an important victory and at the same time take the first step towards their qualification to the “16” of the third UEFA competition.
The Basque coach now has two demanding matches ahead of him. One is tomorrow, in Toumba against PAOK, and the other is next Thursday in Hungary, in the rematch with Ferentsvaros.
The atmosphere in the “red and white” classes is very good, there is satisfaction with the reaction the team made and managed to get the desired result against the Hungarians.
However, the priority for Mendiliber is tomorrow’s derby in Thessaloniki, where Olympiacos wants to close the gap with the “Northern Doubleheader”, while Panathinaikos and AEK have more playable matches (with Lamia and Kifisia, respectively).
It is most likely that Vaskos will line up the team again with 4-3-3, which during the match will turn into 4-2-3-1. As for the changes he has in mind, Ciquinho and Horta are vying for a place in the starting line-up, as is Podense instead of Masura.
There will hardly be any changes in the defense, while from there many things will become clear in today’s last training session before the “red and white” team leaves for Thessaloniki.
