A game, of course, from which if the ‘rojiblancos’ want to get something out of it, they will have to play perfectly. Let no one be left behind and let everyone play 100%. Even the score is “gold” both for the next three games that remain, and for prestige. The whole of Europe will talk about the Greek team that arrested Guardiola’s “citizens”.
WITH BASIC BOW AND … PEPE
Olympiakos are in Manchester with the all-important return of Mandi Kamaras, whose absence may not have been seen with Marseille, but with Porto it was crucial. The Guinean midfielder not only made himself available to Pedro Martins, but is also expected to play as a key player. It may have been absent from the field, but it is in very good condition and the coach confirmed it at a press conference.
The use of Embilas in midfield is also considered a fact, at a time when doubts arose about the situation of Bouchalakis, who was replaced by Apollo. In the last training session on English soil, the Cretan midfielder trained. In case he feels absolutely fine, it is estimated that he will also be used in the starting lineup. In other words, the intention of the Portuguese coach is to bring down Olympiakos with three midfielders against City. However, it should be noted that Martins used Pepe in the last training session with Kamaras and Embila.
RANZELOVIC ANTI MASURA TEST
Valbouena, from there and beyond, will position himself on the left wing, while in Martins’ test he made Rangelovic a key player and not Masura. Arabi will be a fact at the top.
Let’s go to the defense, where the positions are more or less closed, if the left back is excluded. Sa will be under the posts. Rafinia, who had the affair with her house, will be on the far right of the defense. Semedo and Cisse will make up the central duo. As for the left, Vinagre or Cholebas. On the one hand, the speed of the Portuguese, on the other hand, the greater credibility of the 36-year-old José in defense.
As this is a game that requires absolute dedication to the suspension role and impeccable regular play, there is also the idea of a trio on defense. To play three centrals, Cholebas as a left stopper with Semedo and Cisse.
THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AND IDENTITY
It is recalled that the mission is made up of the following footballers: Sa, Tzolakis, Karargiris, Dreger, Rafinia, Semedo, Cisse, Papadopoulos, Cholebas, Vinagar, Sourlis, Androutsos, Embila, Pepe, Kamara, Bouhalakis, Valbouena, Masouras, Brumba, Sounza, Bruma A, Soun.
Behind him, apart from Ba who did not “clean up” with the coronavirus, was Fortunis, whom Martins mentioned at the press conference: “Yesterday before training, Costas informed us that he was able to participate in the training. That he couldn’t train. So I decided to leave it off the list. “
At Olympiakos they recognize that this is the most difficult game in the group, but they do not lose optimism. “Our identity will not change. The game is certainly difficult, but we will play with determination and courage. We will not change our philosophy ” Martins said.
What philosophy? A team that will try to keep the ball, as far as possible, against the … beast, and that will seek to score goals. Kamara also does not lose faith: “All I have to say is that we came here to get points, not to show who we are, but to get points.”
