Nikolakopoulos: “Rodinei was injured and played with injections in the last three games”

The latest news of Olympiakou carried by Kostas Nikolakopoulos to News Bulletin 247.

“At Olympiakos, today the team’s analysts will keep their eyes on Fenerbahce’s game with Trabzonspor, they will now begin to follow it more closely. Medilibar will not go, since he looks more at his team, what they can do on the field“, the team reporter initially reported.

“Olympiakos players have the opportunity, some to rest, others to calm down and those who wanted to travel. There are players who have played in too many matches. Olympiacos in the last 27 days played 9 matches, playing continuously every three days. 4 were European and two were derbies, plus three league games. It was an exterminating program“, he added.

And he continued, saying:It is now revealed about Rodinei, that in the last three games (the two against Maccabi and in between against Panathinaikos), and in the previous one, he played with injections, because he had a problem with his knee. It was a problem that was far from painless. He did and played, with annoyances, because they were very important games. The coach asked him to grit his teeth and play as long as he can, substituting him on Thursday in extra time, and when the qualification was cleared.

Paschalakis, as it was revealed the other day, was playing with shoulder problems and Tzolakis entered the last game. Things are not so simple when you have to follow such exhausting programs. It is a good moment for Olympiakos this (emergency) postponement for the Greek national team, since they would have played tonight with AEK in New Philadelphia, after 120 minutes of such a demanding match on Thursday night».
