OPPORTUNITY THAT DID NOT RISE HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT
However, the conditions were created for AEK to have its opportunity. Play a final with a more balanced lineup. In the original design, Carrera’s elections were very close to what he would have done if the final had been held on its original date. The fact, however, that the Olympiacos team had obvious weaknesses, places that allowed AEK to hit and win with superiority, created a game that it did not know how to handle. AEK is neither trained nor has the quality to win a derby with possession of more than 60%.
The game probably would have had a different outlook, if the rojiblancos had not taken the lead early, but from the first phase the Carrera players came to the logic of taking control of the final. They had to face a team that had to act with a phobia.
WITH EXTREME PRISONS IN FRONT OF THE BACK
Olympiakos, especially since the day Pontense left and since then, have learned to win in matches of equal meters, without asking for possession of the ball. In the end, however, he had to be even more careful. Martins had to play with emergency backups. The forced use of Bruno on the right and Torosidis, obviously in a troubled situation on the left, forced Martins to keep both of his wingers low. Fortunis and Valbouena could not play at the same time, Fortunis stayed on the bench and Radzelovic, Masouras in training were the protectors of the extreme wingers. Something that automatically meant that AEK, simply by touching the ball to the sides and with a smooth and error-free transfer of the ball, had gained meters.
ONLY CORNER
Possession and measures won, however, they did not have the quality and knowledge to take advantage of them. She is not trained to play highly competitive games in this way, she has no aggressiveness and creates a high level from the axis and of course there is the usual problem on the wings. Olympiakos managed to take advantage of the weakness he had at the ends, winning only one corner. In practice, the pressure exerted by AEK brought 15 corners won, executions of desperation and hope that Tzolakis would make a mistake.
The way the final unfolded photographed all the weaknesses of the AEK squad, it was impossible for the Carrera players to play a balanced game, not make mistakes in their possession, not leave room for exploitation to the opponent and create clear opportunities in the flow of the game, having the role of boss, ball possession and winning measures.
CLEAN OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE
Olympiakos, necessarily playing too conservative, as the midfielders had to close the gaps, managed to create great opportunities on the counter. Livagia’s mistake, Lopez’s misguided tactics and Svarna’s overly passive stance gave Ranzelovic the right to open the scoring.
So AEK didn’t have a real chance. The rojiblancos in the field struck in the 35th minute on the occasion of El Arabi after a great individual energy, in the 49th with Chitonda defeating Masouras in the quarterfinals, in the 54th again Masouras won a penalty from Bakakis and in the 86th minute, a goal from Kafos who was annulled for El Arabi’s offside.
All these phases were clear and the AEK defense accepted them in the counterattack with direct football. He accepted it because the conditions of the final led him to have to win as superior. They took her to a game that she hasn’t learned to play, hasn’t trained, and doesn’t have the quality on her roster to succeed.
THE BODY HAS A ROOF
It cannot be a coincidence that AEK has given 4 finals in recent years and has not beaten anyone. The base, the trunk that has this equipment, has a specific roof. Quality reinforcement is urgently needed. It is necessary to enter the roster of the team, quality and aggression from the axis of speed and class at the ends. It is not possible to see Bruno and Torosidis screwed throughout the game and not be able to take advantage of it.
It is not possible to be a team that wants titles and try to get them with Albani, Verde. The good thing is that from the team reports, it seems that now they have understood it in AEK and are willing to push them hard to bring at least one winger that will make a difference, clearly needs more aggression from the axis, combined with class in the creation.
The 2019/20 season ended on September 12 and brought a completely fair result. Championship and Cup, double won by the best team. In 2019-20, Olympiacos were many levels above their competitors and it would be unfair to lose a title, given the conditions that the final would give. Still, he managed to work as a team that performs better overall and won the double that he so much deserved.
