Nikolakopoulos: Naive as in 2-4 by PAOK, Olympiacos might have fought it if El Kaabi had scored 2-3

Olympiacos lost 4-1 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, with Costas Nikolakopoulos to make his comment in his air News Bulletin 247.

Initially, the station’s reporter characterized naive his appearance Olympiakou in the sense that he gave a lot of space to Maccabi from the beginning of the match who are a very fast and cynical team with Zahavi who is a real executor.

“Olympiacos came into the game in the worst way by conceding two goals and continued even though it quickly declined, to be open in their defense but also to have the stoppers and Rodney on a very bad day. In the second half he played more normally, he closed the spaces a bit better and if El Kaabi in the 51st minute had not missed the great opportunity in the tête-à-tête with the goalkeeper and reduced, maybe Olympiacos could have fought it with a different mentality for to equalize. In the end, nothing went well, the Israelis with 5 chances scored 4 goals, he himself with as many scored only one, but the three were after 4-1… And so after last year’s 0-4 by Maccabi Haifa, came 1-4 from Tel Aviv to Karaiskakis. With Olympiakos having their heavy weapons, Fortunis, Podense and Rodinei, on a bad day. It’s a shame that the team made a bad performance this year in Karaiskakis in Europe and it came at the most inappropriate time”.
