Martins for El Arabi – Ticino: “Those who are in the best shape will be selected”
Pedro Martins spoke about Tikinios – Arabi and how the attacking center is selected in view of the match between Olympiacos and OFI (27 February, 7.30 p.m., NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE Sportish).
After the defeat against Atalanta OFI (February 27, 7:30 p.m., NOVASPORTS PRIME, LIVE Sportish), Olympiacos hosts Georgios Karaiskakis for the 25th game of the Super League Interwetten. Pedro Martins spoke to NOVA about the game against the Cretans, which he sees as a reaction.
He also referenced Tessin and Arabi’s “duel” and how the choice between the two is made, while also discussing Brousai and Androutsos.
The statements of Martins in detail:
For the game: “We’re preparing for Sunday’s game, we want a reaction, it’s been a tough night. He’s been trying to reorganize and prepare as best he can against a side fighting for the top six. Fine play and react.”
For the game with Atalanta: “Surely in such games we will gain wisdom and learn lessons. The opponent was very strong, we knew from the start that it would be a difficult case. “To focus on the next few games in the league, to put on a good game, to find our confidence, to take the lessons we need and use them going forward.”
For the Ticino – El Arabi duel: “There were times and there are times when Youssef is our first choice. At that point, the player who is in the best possible condition is always chosen. There are times when Youssef is in better shape than Ticinius and vice versa. We have two very good players Yousef is our enforcer, a player with mobility and helps to hold and retrieve the ball. He is chosen based on the nature of the games. “He can come forward more easily. Depending on who is in the best shape and depending on who is the one who can cope with the characteristics of each breed’s needs is our choice.”
For Brusai, playing at right-back: “We’re testing Mario in this position because Kenny is busy and there are times when we need him in this position. Also, Androutsos took his chances and we can say he didn’t do what we expected. So Mario is our pick.” “We need a player with attacking elements. Maybe that’s his future position.”
Are there problems?: “No, everyone is fine.”
