The question that arises, then, is where the new version “rojiblanco” can go as soon as the old and the young are doing well, they acquire chemistry, but also as soon as the gaps in the list are closed.
Many people have argued that the duo needed interventions from the bench to achieve dominance, having thrown them away both times, in the first half. But is the truth a little different? Isn’t this reading correct? I have the feeling that in the championship game on Friday and yesterday against Omonia, the “rojiblancos” of the first half really “weighed” their opponents, they ran them, they tired them, they “measured” them, until they were corrected. made bench that changed and balanced.
THE STONE IS FORMED
If nothing else, we must agree that Pedro Martins is trained. Although he was called to start building the new team with several new faces and in key positions, with few days off, he reads the games very well and makes the necessary interventions to lead his team to important victories, without, in fact, putting in danger to the team. team especially in the defensive part.
In the match against Tripoli, Fortounis and Masouras came off the bench, scored three goals and signed the first triple inside the borders. In the match against Omonia, El Arabi and Rangelovic entered after an hour of play and changed the whole picture. The penalty came from a vertical pass from the first and a bite – a hallmark – from the trained Serbian. The 2-0 was made after a pass from captain Bouchalakis who, as they said after the game from the technical team, played with minor inconveniences and an amazing energy from Yousef, who had missed three great opportunities before, but finally found his way to the net even with shooting out of range.
It is clear that Olympiacos, having in the eleven three new faces in key positions (the two backs and Embila), will need time to find rhythm and coherence and automation. Especially the loss of Tsimika – Omar, who were beyond the defense units and strong development poles, requires work, but also reinforcement. In the two official matches it was clear that the ‘rojiblancos’ go on the attack … only once.
HOLEBAS IS RUNNING
On the one hand, it seems that Rafinia has been playing with this shirt for years. She adapted immediately, got right into the skin of her role, does the job correctly, while also having a very good cooperation with the one in front of her. However, the same is not the case with José Cholebas. The experienced left-back, although he does not have strength problems, finds it difficult to meet the promoted one, he has not entered the equation correctly, he looks out of place with the system, with the result that the team has not taken much of the left wing . The good thing about the story is that it picks up from where “General” Valbouena left off last year. Really, one wonders what this player does and how he tries to do it in his 36 years …
RETURNS TO ISSUE GLOVES
According to the table of the first two games, the need for another type of left back is more imperative, more balanced in the blocking and offensive part. How he analyzed the previous days Sport24.gr o Mateus Reyes is an ideal choice, based on the data he has to fill Costas Tsimikas shoes. Regardless of the degree of difficulty and Rio Ave’s (new) requirements delaying the completion of a planned deal, with the 25-year-old pushing for the fact that he remains free at the end of the season.
It is essential that the Olympiacos acquire a second development pole from the left, so that it does not seem predictable and more easily manageable. When the opponent knows that the “rojiblancos” are constantly charging from the right with 2-3 players, but from the left they are almost harmless, it makes sense to adjust according to their defensive tactic.
MISSING A BOUQUET
Another issue that was identified mainly in the first half of both games was the inability of the ball to pass in space from midfield to the height of the opponent’s large area. Here it is clear that a player with this skill is needed, a fast and good extreme craftsman, who can go “one on one”, something that the “demon” Rangelovic does quite successfully.
Ultimately, despite the “every start and difficulty” that applies to all teams at the start of each season, especially when there are face changes in key positions, Olympiacos seems to be a matter of time to adapt accordingly. The sooner, however, the holes are closed in positions that scream for reinforcement, the better. Let’s not forget that young people will also need some time to adjust, so here “the mermaid is funny”. We will see the rest in the field …
PS: Nottingham’s Thiago Silva will take over a port at the end of the month to be another reliable midfield solution, as revealed Sport24.gr as of August 18.
PS2: Fortounis wants a little more time, it has not rolled 100% and it seems, but it will roll.
