They loved him very much, they fought, they did not give up and they justified themselves. An Olympiakos full of tsabouka, will and stubbornness, hit a youth triple 1-0 against Marseille with a Hassan goal in the first minute of the delay.

A triple fruit of a tremendous effort from the first to the last minute, against a very strong and dangerous team.
The ‘rojiblancos’ did not put it under Masoura’s goal that was annulled by VAR in the 52′, they fought even harder until they were solemnly justified and got the first golden triple, which can even be equivalent to classifying in their economy. group. These are the 5 things that sealed the “G. Karaiskakis” confrontation:
1. THE ATTENTION OF VILLA BOAS
At 4-3-3, Villa Boas decided to face Olympiakos 4-2-3-1. The Marseille coach knew that the ‘rojiblancos’ would want the ball at their feet to dominate and give a fast pace to the game and adjusted accordingly.
He ordered his players not to allow El Arabi to play in front of the house, tried to close the gaps at the ends, while trying not to give any free measure to the “brain” of the hosts Mathieu Valbouena.
At the same time, the guests, reluctant to put together a game from behind, tried with great passes from the defense, looking for gaps in the ends of the Olympic defense, but also in the back of Ba, who was often moved by Benedetto. The word ‘push’ was often heard from the Marseille bench, for attackers to press higher, as Martins’ players easily broke through the first defense zone and reached the axis, even with Semedo holding the ball.
At the same time, the hosts tried hard to attack from the ends, with Radzelovic very furious from the right, while from the left they took various initiatives to attack and José Cholebas.
2. IMMEDIATE PRESSING AND MISSING
As the Portuguese classical coach, the Marseille players directly pressed the spot where the ball was lost for a quick recovery, however the home team did not push much in this part of the match, although they could not easily find lanes for de Mandada.
In general, the French team showed attractiveness in good returns and consistent transition, while when necessary they did not hesitate to commit fouls. At the same time, when given the opportunity, they tried to surprise the opponent, but aside from some missed shots from distance and a knee from Toven in the 30th minute, they didn’t bother Sa much.
Olympiakos’ problem was how he will pass the ball into the attacking third and because of the intense pressure, but also because of the good defensive performance of Marseille that significantly limited Mathieu Valbouena. The “general” every time he served the ball he had to face not one or two, but three opponents who leaned directly around him so as not to breathe.
3. THE FIRST “AH” WITH ARABIC
With patience in the game and without superficial plays, the ‘rojiblancos’ looked for their moment and almost found it in the 38th minute when El Arabi started the race and finished off the effort of Masoura’s turn, but did not find the ball well against the rival. Departure from three meters.
The better he stepped on the axis Bouchalakis, who started the game with one or two errors, the better he stepped on the axis Olympiakos and found the conditions to get ahead. The Cretan’s battles with Samson were not only Homeric, but in the latter part of the first part, Piraeus dominated.
Apart from Arabi’s chance, they made some other good attacks, mainly from the left, with the Cholebas turbo on a very good night. The first half ended with a 53% possession of Martins’ team and six finals, with the visitors with two more, but without seriously threatening.
4. SPEED AND DOMINATED
With the start of the second half, there were some heart attacks when Benedetto came out in shooting position due to successive errors, but Sa stopped the play with his left foot and saved the safe (and stupid) 0-1 in 46 ‘.
From that moment, however, the ‘rojiblancos’ got serious and five minutes later they found the coveted goal with a close projection of Masoura, who, however, was annulled as an offside scorer via VAR. It would have been better for the locals to score at that point and have scored if Valbouena had scored from the penalty spot, but Madanda saved before the ball was over – exposed by millimeters – Masoura.
The pace increased significantly in the second half with Olympiakos leading the way, but also Marseille able to create a counterattack with a pass. In general, the image of Martins ‘team was better than 46’, mainly thanks to the measures taken by the four defenders, obviously in a relevant order.
With the Semedos mansion, Cholebas going up and down and Rafinias making his presence more noticeable, the hosts pressed more, they stepped on an area, but they lacked the bottom. Midway through the second half, a new order came from the bench for Valbuena to play further to the right, close to Rangelovic, to create a surplus. A little later, the Frenchman was again in a position to shoot from the right, but Madanda said “no” again, saving his team from goals.
5. KAMIZAI FOR DEATH
With the passage of time, Olympiakos surrounded the goal, but that did not come, so the ‘rojiblancos’ fell like a kamikaze in duels. With Valbouena a bit calmer, or more precise, the scoring would have opened quite early in the second half.
Martins, however, supported the experienced wild card, got into the game and Fortounis in the 75th minute to play it all for everything. Costas assumed the role of personnel, Mathieu went to the right and Masouras, who played well, stayed to the left.
The ‘rojiblancos’ kept pushing hard and found another good opportunity with the center of Valbouena and Arabi sending the ball head over the crossbar. The leader of the match, Semedo, was on the verge of being anointed scorer in the 88th minute, but could not find the ball from Mathieu’s foul, as the hosts did not take their foot off the gas.
And because, as in life, also in football, persistent victories, Olympiakos found the golden goal in 91 ‘after a robbery of Rafinias, a Valbouena center and a Hassan transporter, who had passed in the field a few minutes before. It sounds like a divine test.
