After the heavy defeat (1-4) of Olympiakou from Maccabi Tel Aviv in Karaiskaki, Jose Luis Mendilibar did not hide and admitted his own responsibilities for the final result.
Yesterday the Basque coach made sure to criticize the responsibilities that also belong to the playerssince from the first moment he assumed the technical leadership of the team he has emphasized one thing: everything that is done in training should be presented on the field.
“If we do in the games what we say and do in training, then everything will be better. With Maccabi, however, I saw something else. We do some things in training, others I see in matches. This is very important and I’m really surprised with how we played in the first half, it wasn’t defense that we played“, he characteristically said.
Yes, it was mentioned in the general preventive function of Olympiakosmaking separate reports about Podense, Fortuni and El Cambi, that they did not help as much as they should have.
In today’s training the coach is expected to reveal some of his thoughts on tomorrow’s derby with Panathinaikos in Karaiskakis, for the first matchday of the playoffs, where he is expected to two changes to the original shape.
One concerns the center of defensesince Retsos is suspended, and his place will be taken by one of Vezo, Doi, Abi or Biancone, with the French ace favored to be Carmo’s partner. One of the Fortunas or Pontenses he will be left out and Masouras will take his place.
