Maccabi Haifa has “swapped” two coaches. And these people were called to face each other. Compatriots and with a little time to work as they please. The champions of Greece and Cyprus were called for the first 90 minutes that lasted over 100 minutes, they didn’t win and will settle the score in Piraeus.

Olympiakos could have won. The “Red-Whites” could have scored at least one goal in the 20 minutes after the start of the second half, showing another team with a running player. And as soon as he got out, they started burning fuel oil again. Huang changed the team’s image and what you read about him is rightly written.

As tough as it may seem, the Europa League money and prestige may be important, the conference may not be necessary, but if there is something more important than anything for the Greek side, it is to build something football-wise in the middle of the duties. There are players, others are taken on, some have to go, there is time for change, there is no time for wasted football.

Time for football… There is no such thing as Good Friday. And there’s no time not to win. Because victory is still ignored. Only losses and draws. Something strange about this team, don’t you think? you agree However, because of that particular draw, I believe there was also a win. Now everything is clear! Even the most unimportant knows what the team needs…

unlock zero…

Corberan, who continues to look for things and most importantly streamline how the team will play football again, put Huang behind El Arabi in his red debut. Kunde stayed in the eleven (this was absent as Martins is gone and the Cameroonian looks like a happy little kid who goes to a playground every day). In addition to Kunte, the Senegalese are also in the stops, where a transfer will also be necessary to free the champions once and for all of the problems he has had in this position for the past two years.

Apollon is a team that excelled in attacking football last year. The change of coach certainly made the Cypriots want to show more. If they could… Because they said the same thing about Piraeus before Olympiacos-Slovan, but nothing terrible happened that night in Karaiskakis.

The second, happy about the change of coach, Rangelovic, had made it his mission to create situations on the one hand, with Tom Zingernagel in front of him. And while Carboran had thought of all of this, he didn’t 100% anticipate his players not being able to withstand the pressure.

The Cypriots created situations that weren’t as torturous for a normal group able to break away. However, Olympiacos still don’t have the players, or rather the set, to break away immediately in situations of appropriate pressure.

Huang’s gifts

Even with a bit of bad luck, the “Red-Whites” lost before the 20th minute. Another goal conceded (Vačlik has not finished a game unscathed this year). At this point it’s all about fixing things and bringing in new faces. I’m sure of one thing and pointed it out after the adventure with Slovan.

The new coach understood what was happening and, most importantly, what happened. He himself does not know whether he will soon succeed in correcting the picture. In the GSP, both yanga and pitas went to all first balls. Just as Piero had done with Maccabi. Olympiacos still has a plot left between defense and midfield. Are only the stoppers to blame? no Are the central midfielders to blame? no The whole chain is responsible.

However, the team has time to improve as long as speed is restored. A fast player came in and it showed! Huang found the ball on the run and after Ryabchuk’s pass, he just put it in… Continuing his personal takedown. It has strongly invaded the Cypriot region, and it is not difficult for anyone to catch up with you there. Pass with the right, place with the left and off you go. So what will Huang give to Olympiakos? What you saw in the gate. He’s either playing ten or further back, where I think he can offer even more if Carboran puts another one behind the front. Or another ten or Aboubakar Kamara as a perimeter forward.

In these cases, the South Korean covers every modern need. It is certain that it works. It is given by temperament and demeanor that it acts as a suspension more faithfully than anyone else. And he has the talent to carry the ball. Technical training, speed and all the elements necessary to create bad situations for your opponent.

Changes and sweets

The second half was the apotheosis of counterattacking but also of El Arabi’s hashura. Apollo had the ball up to 17-18 meters from Vatslik’s goal and then we saw Huang (until he got injured) throwing balls. Ranjelovic comes on the backs of the Cypriots and the Moroccan for fun (until he gave in to Hassan) and loses goals that are candy for him! The hosts tried to increase their intensity with changes. Olympiacos looked ready for the double from the opening minutes of the second half.

It all happened 20 minutes after Huang’s exit, he dropped – no matter how strange it may seem – 30% in intensity in midfield. The team are also looking for a striker as I don’t think Hassan can exist as an anti-El Arabi (Aboubakar is another matter, don’t get confused).

Carboran also used Agibu, but I think he’s still around…last year. Zingernagel didn’t make much noise in this match and all the interest fell on the west side of the matchup in Dela Fuente and Brusai. The former was acquired, the latter activated after being ousted by Martins. Don’t judge these two children, it would be unfair.

A recipe for success

Now the tracheae expand. Olympiacos would like reinforcements in defense (perhaps a goalkeeper so that Vačlik doesn’t make easy passes in the middle of nowhere) and additional quality in midfield so that Huang isn’t left ‘a leaf in the field’. Customer knows the ball, adds Embila, who is running out of breath. But you alone in “6” can not play.

So if the South Korean is supposed to play at “8” and the team is getting better, a “killer cutter” should also be found. Corberan will continue to be wanted in the “10” unless he leaves the South Korean there or Fortunes will… Brusai or Aboubakar get a shirt in a 4-4-1-1, which I don’t see much of. The Spaniard shows me that he wants to play a dominant game, he likes to have ten and he does it well.

He plays differently than Martins and if he has the luck of the Portuguese he will make a much better team as the winning formula he has shown is closer to the team’s ‘should’. But he wants ally time, I’ll rewrite it, luck with him and the right decisions. He deserves to go into the Europa groups, but Apollo won’t give him that either. It’s time for a win…
