The leg pain Giorgos Masouras felt on the eve of the game against Slovan wasn’t enough to deter him from traveling to Bratislava. The only thing the veteran striker had in mind was to help Olympiakos qualify for Slovakia.

THE George Masouras who had been booed by few in Karaiskaki a week earlier, was not only made available to Carlos Corberan but played with unease against Slovan for 120 minutes.

In fact, both at half-time and after the end of normal playing time, Olympiacos’ medical staff ambushed him and helped him endure and overcome the discomfort.

And Olympiacos’ “loyal soldier” gave his “answer” on the pitch. There, where he learned to “speak” with actions.

Masouras had the assist on the goal by Zinkernagel (0:1), but also the assist on the goal by Agibu Kamara (1:2). In between, he scored a goal in added time in regular play (93′). He played as a winger but also at times at the front of the attack.

And later, when the ball was burning, he took command and scored the third red-white goal, equalizing at that moment (2-2) and changing the mentality of his teammates after Kunte’s missed penalty.

Masouras has never hid in difficult times and will not do so. He puts the team first and himself first. He has proven that in the past, continues to do so and will continue to do so in the future.

Several wingers have gone through Olympiakos in recent years but there hasn’t been another with the 28-year-old Greek footballer’s offer.

The experienced striker has scored 42 goals and 23 assists in 167 appearances for the Red and Whites in all competitions.

He tries to do his job as well as he can, keeping a low profile and praising the whole team and his teammates like he did in his remarks minutes after qualifying against Slovan.
