Olympiacos fought it out in Bucharest, but failed against Steaua (0-0) and thus returned with a point from Romania, after the completion of the 5th matchday of the League Phase of the Europa League.
Immediately after the end of the match at the “Arena Nacional”, Jose Luis Mendilibar made sure to send the message about his team’s European continuation. “We tried to be more aggressive and push but something was missing. It’s like we left something in the middle. We have to win the next three games we play“, said the Spanish coach.
Now, however, everyone in the “red and white” camp they are forced to turn their attention to another trap-match that follows. Specifically, Olympiacos faces on Sunday afternoon, OFI in Heraklion, for the 13th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
The Piraeus, after the end of the match in Bucharest, they left for the airport to get the charter and return to Greece.
Unlike the previous matches, Mendiliber decided the mission to return immediately in Athens, to do the work on Rentis and today to do the recovery ahead of the match at “Theodoros Vardinogiannis”.
Essentially Olympiacos it will go with… half training in Crete, to give an important race, and remain alone first in the standings after Sunday.
On the injury front, Zelson Martins will not be able to help the team in Heraklion, while Karmo is also out due to the bruise he suffered in the derby with AEK.
