Olympiacos: The rotation of Mendiliber, the riddle and Barcelona

Olympiacos returns to action after the break due to national teams, having a difficult period of days ahead of it. In which he will first face AEL Novibet away from home (18/10), then Barcelona away (21/10) and then hosts AEK (26/10).

THE Jose Luis Mendilibar he had not made a rotation in the last match before the suspension of obligations, which was against PAOK, but this time, when he has close and difficult matches, he is expected to apply it.

Moreover, he implied something like this in the statements he made to Cosmote TV in the question he received about whether he is thinking about the two upcoming games in combination. “The truth is that we have to evaluate the players who have returned from their nationals. Let’s see what state they are in and decide accordingly. Depending on everyone’s readiness, we will judge whether and how much they will compete. This applies to those who were absent, because those who stayed here trained very well and are ready for any eventuality. But it’s not just the next two games. Until the next break we have seven consecutive matches, every three days, and that requires proper management“, said Vaskos.

At the same time, he emphasized about the injured: “We have two injured people who have been missing for several days, Strefetsa and Rodinei. We are also waiting for Bruno to return from his national team. Everyone else is fine and we will decide on the first match based on their condition».

THE Retsos he is now fit and will probably return to the starting line-up. Especially after the appearance of Biancone in Toumba and with Kalogeropoulos and Mansa not having actually entered the squad. There will be refreshments in the center, with Muzakite to claim a position, while he is now in a better condition and o Siphonwho had problems after the derby with Panathinaikos.

With Strefetsa staying on… the pitches too Gelson-Podense candidates to take a breather, Campela knocks on the starting line-up door. El Kaabi and Taremi come from obligations with their national teams, while the Yaremchukwith the 63-year-old coach knowing that he can once again count on one of the leaders of Piraeus last season.

His philosophy Olympiakou against Mendiliber (with high pressing) is known, but he will face a… puzzle, as AEL Novibet, which is… hurt due to the five-pointer from Volos, has a new coach, Stelios Malezas, who will make his debut against Piraeus.
