The coach of the podium: Gasperini’s mat, Olympiakos’s mistakes and the corners

His game Olympic against Atlanta did not have a happy ending. Despite the good effort of Piraeus, who were competitive against the Italians and with 2-1 left accounts open in view of the rematch. With his team Gasperini to be the favorite for sure, as before the match in Bergamo.

The key points of the match in detail through the coach of the podium:

* He fought it, but “bent”: His mission Olympic against Atlanta was difficult and dangerous, having to face a very high quality and well-done team, with midfield… fire. If Gasperini’s team finds you, they can kill you, risking several goals. Piraeus managed to put their opponent in a difficult position, to take the lead and stress him, getting a good grade, but not the desired result. The Greek champion may feel disappointed with the progress of the match and “popped” due to the fact that “Hurt” from mistakes, which could have been avoided, but it is certainly a fair result. Based on the image of the two teams and the expectations they had.

* Gasperini won on the κι chessboard: Apart from Atalanta’s victory over Olympiakos, there was also the predominance of its coach over Martins. The two coaches had surprises in store for the starting lineups, choosing attacking formations. The Portuguese coach took the risk, he played a smart game in the first half. He managed to get ahead, to create problems in the opposition and he could have done it 0-2 in 34 ‘with the terrible opportunity, which was wasted by Oniekourou. In proportion, he managed to limit the hosts to a satisfactory degree. To be realistic, it is impossible not to eat phases from Atalanta. However, as mentioned above its shape Olympic was at risk, as the midfielders were absent. It would be absurd to make a whole game with that particular philosophy and support that scheme. In a game, the data changes, new needs arise and Gasperini, who seemed to be surprised by the starting lineup of the “red and whites”, worked to turn the page and he succeeded. He sought victory, challenged his luck and smiled last. Pedro Martins supported his choices almost to the end, even though Atalanta had gained momentum and its coach had made his corrective changes.

Gasperini made the move-mat after the break, with the entry of Kupminers and Boga. Mainly with the entry of the first, who changed the game of Atalanta, improving its image. As a result, he acquires balance and greater logic on the field. From the side of Olympiakos Martinshad in mind to put him Mandy Kamara before the 1-1, but did not catch up and finally we saw him on the field after 2-1. At this point he was unlucky, but he did not cause his fate earlier, while then his next changes, which probably should have been made in the first period of the second part, took place quite late, as it turned out, with Bouhalakis coming in. at 85 ‘.

Olympiacos has not played much with three stoppers during the Martins era and the few times it has used it this year has not made convincing appearances. The highlight of the summer match with Ludogorets. He does not know it well, he has to work on it more. Even in the games with Panathinaikos and PAOK, in which he got what he wanted, he was not satisfied overall. But what did he do against the “biceps”, when he saw the pressure, to achieve his goal? He filled his center in the second part, putting Bouchalakis in particular. That is, what he did not do in time against Atalanta, where the level of difficulty is higher. It goes without saying that in order to get to claim positive result Olympiacos has done several things right Pedro Martins. His plan worked for an entire half and if Oniekourou had not made such a tragic end in 34 ‘, we would be talking about another scenario in the second half.

* Hit by: air: The period 61′-63 ‘was condemning for Olympiakos. Piraeus saw what he was building in one match hour being demolished in three minutes. Atalanta “hit” him through the static phases, although in this area of ​​the game he does not tear. Besides, it is a team that likes to play a lot with the ball down, having as a last resort the crosses, yomes etc etc, while it does not support much in the corners. In this way he unlocked the Piraeus. This is not something. Crazy. After that, his team conceded many corners Martins. In total 13. What they cost was the 11th, with which Jimciti scored with a header, but also the 12th, in which the mistakes of Cisse and Agibu Kamara, served the 2-1 to the player of Atalanta.
