Stamatelos: “Olympiacos Mendiliber’s first major domestic victory – Key to the two 17-year-olds”

To the great victory (4-1) of Olympiakos over AEK in Karaiskaki, for the 12th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, reported the Nikos Stamatelos on News Bulletin 247.

“We start with the facts of the derby, without Ese, Carmo and Ciquinho lose and then Gelson. Ese’s absence is significant. The two changes come, AEK’s goal comes against the flow of the match. It was the absences and Martial’s goal came in, and it seemed that he didn’t want to go too far“, the team reporter initially reported.

“The two 17-year-olds were key to the appearance of Olympiakos. The point is that Olympiacos led them to make the mistakes that AEK made. In the fourth goal, when Rota kicks the ball away, Rodenei is not inactive, who was running to steal the ball. The work done by Kostoulas, who pushes too high, is tremendous. It was an Olympiacos perfectly read, with players particularly determined and a coach who had the clear mind to make the right moves to deal with the problems that arose during the match“, he added.

And he continued, saying:It was the first major home win with Mendiliber on the bench, following on from the Toumba victory. We see an Olympiakos that is getting better and better, which in the past was particularly problematic for small and medium teams in the league. Yesterday he thundered that he is putting it behind him and going harder for the sequel».
