Olympiakos returned to the victories in the Greek championship, beating Volos 2-1 and reached a difference of 14 points from second place. Naturally, Martins’ side was affected by crucial games with Eindhoven, leaving five points in the derby with Panathinaikos and in the home game with Aris, while Embilas’s goal was late to pass to Volos. If the difference in score were not so great, it would be a loss with Embila’s goal.

THE END OF EMBILA IS CLEAN
The truth is that the objective was perfectly clear. It is a fact that the referees always cancel the goals that there is an offensive player discovered that affects the visibility of the goalkeeper. But this case is completely different. Kleiman is practically out of date and the referee rightly ruled with the help of the VAR that he has no chance of catching the phase. In other words, there is not the slightest influence on his reaction from Hassan’s position. It would exist if he were in the corner and waited for the execution in this case, even if the ball ended up in the opposite window, the goal would be disallowed.
VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
It is no coincidence that Olympiacos have escaped so much from their domestic competitors. The way he went to Eindhoven and won Volos explains the big difference with the rest. In a football where everything is done in a casual and superficial way, Olympiacos works with the absolute organization. In addition to the work done in the training center by Martins and his players, there is also the seriousness that the team builds through squad-specific improvement moves. The coach has assigned specific roles in each position to make his philosophy work. It is clear what is needed, where there is room for improvement, what qualifications are the ones that will take the team one step higher and what should be added in each transfer window.
The rest of the teams are in chaos. We saw, for example, the transfer period that their most direct competitor, PAOK, went through, making transfers only in midfield. Although the team yelled that there is a terrible problem on the defensive end, additions were made that exclusively concern the midfield function.
As a result, at a time when they believed there was an improvement, mainly because both PAS and Lamia had chosen to leave the game with PAOK to look at their next obligations, the bracelet arrived in Tripoli. Ingason-Crespo’s absences led PAOK to a demanding game with the dysfunctional duo of Varela-Michailidis and brought an easy defeat. In a match in which we enjoyed Varelas flirting with an own goal in an easy parallel transfer.
JUSTIFICATION OF THE GENERAL POLICY
Olympiacos continues in Europe, finally rescuing the decision of a coach. Martins has earned the right to be able to transfer to the team a footballer of whom no one will be happy with his acquisition. It is not easy for an administration to accept a player who has passed through the team, has not persuaded and does not gel anyone other than the coach. It should be obvious that a successful coach can go through what he wants, but it is not. At Olympiakos, however, it has also happened lately that they see on the field that this attitude is justified.
It is not just the addition of Hassan, but a series of specific moves that make a difference and that took Olympiakos above domestic competition, allowed them to take a ride in the league and be able to claim the European goal of overtaking.
Additional Information
In the summer, as the most important play that would take the team to the offensive end, one more step was to acquire an extreme stride. In other words, add the qualification of a fast footballer who will move at high-level football speeds and will open up defenses not with technical training trips and play in tight spaces, but with his step.
In the summer he searched for this player, looked at many extreme cases that are a notch above the team’s roster, some notable cases went wrong and eventually ended up on loan to Bruma.
MARTINS DON’T WANT BROUMA ON THE LINE
Haze can easily operate at its speed as a pure extreme. Many times I hear or read with doubt that Olympiacos still need a footballer to play on the lines because Bruma converges and moves internally. But Bruma is the definition of a pure winger, he has the whole package to play on the line, to stay on the sidelines, to ask for the ball and with his speed to give amplitude and open the opponent’s defense.
It doesn’t happen quite simply because Martins doesn’t want it. It is clear that it enters internally by order. We have been watching Olympiakos for two and a half years under his leadership and it is impossible not to understand that he wants the extremists to move inward and the width to come from the back of the back.
EVOLUTION OF TARGET FOOTBALL
Olympiacos greatly supports their development and creation in large targeted transfers. It has many footballers who can catch the ball, lift their heads and take advantage of a quick empty space. We have seen many goals scored from the head and a great pass directed to the forward of the area.
The goals of El Arabi and Hassan from a center directed by Valbouena or Fortuni are incredibly many. Aside from the fact that adding Bruma makes the team faster, Martins adds an extra element to the target soccer ball that will be used. He put a fast player who tries to open the rival defense and receive the ball in the area with his movement in it.
DEFEAT THE DEFENSE OF VOLOS TWICE
Bruma has suffered minor injuries that did not allow him to take consecutive games and the team learn to play with him. That is, taking a large number of consecutive games to see how many important elements you can add to the way Olympiacos play. The double in Volos is due almost exclusively to these ratings.
In the first goal, Kamara took advantage of the movement between the opposing blocks of Bruma with a great transfer very beautiful. Volos’ defense was beaten in the first year for its speed and then for the calm that took advantage of its offer deep within the rival area.
In the second goal, Lala passed a vertical pass to Brouma who made an extreme play in the area, went deep and with his parallel pass defeated the defense of Volos.
It’s a fact that if it doesn’t cause injury problems and can last, it has all the qualifications to do a season with far better numbers than it wrote this year. In the time that he has managed to fight, he has shown something to be a fact. He has the qualifications that were missing from the Olympiacos roster and wanted Martins to join the team.
