Marcelo is a tour de force from Olympiakos

Olympiacos dropped the transfer ‘bomb’ in Marcelo, bringing a legend of world football to Greece. A legend, for the legend of Greek football.

Just twenty-four hours ago, if someone put the words “Marcello” and “Greece” together in a sentence, they at least gave them an odd look. However, when it comes to Olympiakos, nothing is impossible.

Let’s keep the bigger picture in mind to appreciate the value and scale of the Brazilian defender’s move to Olympiacos: In a long period of crisis for Greece, with the red-whites out of the Champions League groups for the second straight season and consequently . With huge revenue losses, Piraeus PAE managed to convince a footballer like Marcelo to continue his career in our country. A player who has conquered everything in his Real Madrid career.

It seems unbelievable but it’s true

And yet Marcelo, who has won five Champions Leagues, three European Super Cups, four Club World Cups, six Spanish leagues, two cups, six Spanish Super Cups and won the Confederations Cup with the Brazilian national team, will now compete in Greek stadiums. It seems unbelievable but it’s true.

And to top it off, Marcelo’s massive transfer is being credited to Olympiacos’ major shareholder Vangelis Marinakis. Just as he and his colleagues were criticized in the first two months of the summer for the Red-Whites’ transfer plan, which he didn’t even tear up, so should he be for his reaction, stubbornness and what he achieved in August and August be recognized now in early September.

The President of Olympiacos has not taken into account the loss of significant revenue for PAE from the Champions League (we are repeating the second season in a row, which is a loss of 80 million euros) given the desire and will to strengthen the red-white to conquer the fourth league in a row and get as far as possible in the Europa League.

The goal is for Olympiacos to play good football

And the steps were taken not only with the goal of winning national titles and a good course in Europe, but also with the goal of Olympiacos playing good football to the satisfaction of their fans.

Were there any delays in transfers? Yes. Were mistakes made? Yes. Could Olympiacos have strengthened earlier and are now in the Champions League groups? Yes. Often, however, one plans one thing and another comes out along the way.

For what the householder knows, the whole world does not know. After all, who doesn’t make mistakes? They also recognized her at Olympiakos, although it wasn’t public knowledge. The bottom line at the end of the day is the total result of transfers. And that’s it:

Olympiacos have taken on a dozen high-profile footballers who are making spectacular changes to the Piraeus squad, leaving promise for the mid-season but also for the future. The red and white brought to Greece:

* Real Madrid left-back (marcelo), which bears the stamp of enormous football greatness.

*Atletico Madrid right-back (Vrsaliko), who was in a World Cup final with Croatia and celebrated winning the Europa League and the Spanish league.

*Center forward who was among the top 15 goalscorers in the French league last season (Wee-Joe).

*Ten of the best players in the Danish league (Biel), who left the Champions League (Copenhagen) for the Europa League (Olympiakos). A player whose total transfer cost – for the five-year contract – exceeds €11m.

*Creative midfielder who is one of the best Korea national football players (Inbom Huang).

*Extreme and Staff Medium (zinc nail), slash (bowler) and right back (Avila), who excelled in the championship last season.

*A forward who was Aris’ top scorer last season (Abubakar Kamara) and with tenures in the English and French leagues.

*Wide Forward, which is international and is a product of Barcelona Academies (De la Fuente).

*Stopper, who has played in the German, English, French and Italian stadiums for the last five years and has returned home as he pointed out (retso).

*And a left-back who is an international for the Israel men’s team and is considered one of the brightest prospects in his home country (sufferer).

In any case, the transfer of Marcelo is in a class of its own. And it’s evident that the acquisition of the Brazilian footballer is a show of Olympiacos’ strength.

Marcelo and his team can start the red and white and combine the result with the good spectacle. Now the evenings take on a different color at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium…
