Olympiakos scored their 11th win in 13 games on Sunday night (3/1) for game 14 of the Interwetten Super League. The rojiblancos started victorious in 2021, beating AEK 3-0 in the “G. Karaiskakis” and were at +11 of the 4th Union, at +6 of the second Aris who has less game. El Arabi scored two goals, reaching 13 (the second league scorer Gerónimo Barrales has eight) and Valbouena one from a penalty.

KEEP THEM LOSE THEM, ARABI DON’T
AEK’s lousy image in the first half prompted Himeneth to make three changes early in the second half. Oliveira instead of Ansarifard, Galanopoulos instead of García and Svarnas instead of Bakakis. 4-2-3-1 became 4-3-3 with right-back Svarnas. In the 51st minute, the Union lost their second chance in the game, but a very good chance. Simoes missed through the area in the 51st minute, after his ball was extremely blocked by Semedo’s body.
Unlike what happened in the first 45 minutes, AEK won more balls in midfield with the presence of Galanopoulos along with Simoes – Kristicic. Martins saw the Union rise and decided in the 61st minute to pass Valbouena in the match instead of the positive but tired Bruma. Return of the French for the first time since November 8. Immediately after his entry, he began to take initiatives and in 63 ‘Arabi could not use his cross.
Mandalos, who raised his performance vertically, missed a great opportunity in the 67th minute. Opportunities, to be precise. Shot that “took out” Sa and second that hit the left crossbar.
What Arabi did not achieve in 68 ‘. The Moroccan “cleared” the derby with a shot from the area, having taken advantage of the fact that Kristicic, Czigrinski and Tsintotas did not clear after filling Valbouena.
The Moroccan’s 13th goal in the championship.
THE CHANGES ON THE CHESS BOARD
When AEK had lost the great opportunity to equalize, they accepted a second and it was all over. Martins put Radzelovic in place of Fortuni and Bouhalaki in place of Brusai. Valbouena passed on the left, the Serb on the right, and Kamaras behind Arabi. Jiménez for his part in the 82 ‘put Albanis and passed Kristicic, setting the lineup again at 4-2-3-1. Tankovic on the right, Albanis on the left, Mandalos 10 points behind Oliveira.
THE CHERRY ON THE CAKE WITH VALBUENA
The minutes passed, AEK had possession but did not threaten. Olympiakos with the right back, sometimes with marks that led to yellow cards, kept what they wanted. At 90 ‘+ 2′ Mathieu Valbouena won a penalty from Simoes’ marking.
The Frenchman took charge of the execution and from the white ball formed the final 3-0 in 90 ‘+ 4’.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE ARABI? What i always had
On Christmas Day, he was at Caen University Hospital donating two elliptical machines and distributing sweets to the children in the psychiatric ward. In Olympiacos’ first game for 2021, he was quick to show the way to beat AEK. With the only scoring instinct that distinguishes him, he took advantage of Embila’s ball in the 13th minute and with a stunning header against Czigrinski made it 1-0.
Other players would try to control or lose the ball. He executed immediately and exposed Tsintotas. The Ukrainian had cut him a bit earlier, but three minutes later his blood was restored.
Somehow, all the stress of the ‘rojiblancos’, who was the head of the game during the 45 minutes, went away. Martins’ seven-day break was beneficial, as the hosts were fresh, circulated the ball very well and proceeded to beautiful collaborations, such as in the phase where Fortounis missed a shot from the area in the 33rd minute.
Embila did a great job taking the first pass from the blocks (he had 92% on accurate passes), Kamara “scratched” midfield and Kristicic – Simoes couldn’t take control. All AEK showed was a weak header from Ansarifard from the penalty spot. The game did not go so well at the Union, which the Iranian seemed to say forcefully with Simoes during the first 45 minutes.
Olympiakos was pushing hard enough and Arabi forced Tsintotas to eliminate him, as in at least two cases.
