Europa League
The paradox with Inbom Huang in the Europa League group
Inbom Huang has provided many solutions in midfield for Olympiacos, but will be in the starting eleven for the first time in a Europa League game (October 27, 10 p.m.).
He is one of Olympiakos’ best signings of the past summer. This is perhaps the most important player – among the newcomers – in the Red-Whites’ game.
Many offensive attempts come from his feet and the Piraeus team is different with him on the field and otherwise without him in the line-up.
And yet the Inbom Huang is preparing to play for the first time as a regular with Olympiacos in the Europa League group tonight against Freiburg (27/10, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT2HD, LIVE Sportish).
Inbom only played 20 minutes in the group stage
It seems paradoxical, but it happened. The South Korean attacking midfielder has played a full 20 minutes in the Red-Whites’ two group stage games against Qarabag. He played 16′ in the first game in Neo Faliro and another 4′ in the second in Baku.
Instead, he sat on the bench in the first two games against Nantes in France and Freiburg in Karaiskakis. And all for a footballer known for being able to make a difference in the Olympiakos game.
- In the first game against Nantes, Corberan had preferred the “twin” Kunte-Bouchalakis in midfield.
- In the game against Freiburg, the Spanish coach had Embilas and Bouhalakis and Biel in front of him.
- In the first game against Qarabag, Mitchell had Kunde and Bouhalakis as starters and in the second game, Kunde and Bouhalakis started again with Biel in the lead. In fact, Huang had fielded in the two games with the Azerbaijani team, in the first as a third substitution and in the second as a fifth.
Inbom Huang has been a regular in Europe with Olympiacos since last August and the two qualifying games against Apollon Limassol. Those were also his first two games in the red and white jersey and indeed he had scored to equalize 1-1 on his debut game in Cyprus.
Now the South Korean central midfielder is ready to play in Olympiakos’ crucial game against Freiburg at the Europa Park stadium.
Mitchell prepares him
Mitchell has used him in both the blocking midfielder and staff midfielder positions in recent days’ testing – depending on the system and faces. In a few hours it will be clear exactly where it will be used, but the most important thing is to offer what the Piraeus team can and expects.
The only thing that is certain is that around 2,000 Olympiacos fans will be in the stands, which is more than 5% of the stadium’s capacity.

I have been working as a sports journalist for about 6 years now. I currently work as an author at Sportish, which is a sports news website. I mainly cover sports news and I love writing about all aspects of the sport. I also have experience working as a broadcast journalist, so I have some great insights into how sport is reported and presented.
football journalist Igor Tsyganyk He told the details of the long-standing transfer story regarding the possible transfer of Vyacheslav Kobin to Dnepr.
According to him, when Dnipro club had to choose between Artem Fedetsky and Vyacheslav Kobin, Kobin was the first choice to strengthen the squad.
Tsyganyk stated that the football player could really be transferred to Dnieper and noted that they made him an offer in the first place. According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.
The journalist emphasized that the failure of the transition was not related to financial conditions. According to his information, salaries in Shakhtar and Dnepr were approximately the same. The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.
According to Tsyganik, Dnepr considered Kobin as a priority option, but the transition was never implemented. Artem Fedetsky played for Dnepr from 2012 to 2016. In the 2014/15 Europa League final, Dnepr lost to the Spanish team Sevilla (2:3).
