Nikolakopoulos: “Medilibar wants to give another identity to Olympiakos, but…”

His own commentary on his defeat Olympiakou in yesterday’s derby with Panathinaikos in Karaiskakis, for the premiere of the playoffs, the Kostas Nikolakopoulos to News Bulletin 247.

Specifically, the team reporter commented the second heavy defeat in a row of Piraeus in Karaiskakis, saying that the “moon” changed for Olympiakos with the draw of the playoffs and the crash from Maccabi, as… one thing led to another and it turned out that it was the worst draw to start the playoffs with a derby, after the wear and tear of the European competition was seen, as happened with PAOK.

He then opined that he should have made a bigger rotation the coach, since the lack of freshness in the eleven was obvious, while he also agreed that the “clean” 4-4-2 that he played for the first time did not work out for Mendiliber.

Mainly, however, he focused on something else:Medilibar wants to give another identity to Olympiakos, an attacking and pressing team, something that has been worked on since the beginning of the season and is not easy to do in March. Maybe because they need other players. Occasionally Olympiacos does it, but in general they stay open at the back and given their defensive problems, they pay badly for it“, he commented and concluded:

“Olympiacos needs to keep a coach for two years and build a team with the characteristics of players that serve the football they want, if Olympiacos wants to play that kind of football».
