In games like last night between Olympiakos and Panaitolikos in Faliro, the (television) viewer feels a sense of obligation even before the first image they see on their receiver. He’s looking for something, anything, to keep him focused and not looking at other screens.

Do you want the lack of world that always affects the view and the experience, do you want the valued development, do you even want the time and the day? Everything, one next to the other, one added to the other, plays its part.

And that’s how you search. But it will be a new face (Biancone), but it will be old with the expectation of renewal and a new constitution, but the leadership of the outsider, but the game itself, its development and its flow. Whatever it is, it’s enough to pique interest and keep the gaze and attention there.

Yesterday the blue shoes caught my eye. These days the color may also be…moderate in eccentricity with the myriads that occasionally appear on the grass. However, yesterday they took out an eye, they brought it on themselves.

Riga Ladi, which Lakis sang with Psila Rever, no, they didn’t have the specific ones. But they danced – and again this year – they danced. From a moment it seems as if you have seen them everywhere, only these, without having to look for them in the picture. Where was the ball? Was there. Sometimes they seemed to be everywhere, even when the ball wasn’t between them.

Checks ideal, suitable for the occasion. She knows where, who and how to choose her own dance. And the blue shoes on Saturday night ensured that she was given a moment that she idolized, even in a game like yesterday in Faliro, where the aim was to keep those who were fooling around.

The blue shoes were worn by Kostas Fortounis. And with that he danced, painting again this year. And let him help with his astonishing goal to – damn it – minimize the centering of the spectator, thereby confirming the “Red-Whites”‘s quick turnaround from 0-1 to 2-1.

His own blue shoes were also involved in the final “extinction” of the game. Combined with another pair of the same color from Giorgos Masouras. The two counterattacked, creating the phase and the basis for a goal, which the international midfielder converted by passing the third (and last of the game) to El Kaabi.

Conclusions in January

Considering the conclusions from the game, the return of not only the Moroccans in goals, but in general the fans of Olympiacos after two months (instead of two days) is a prisoner.

The reunion of the African in the period in which he played – the goal was unmissable, but everything else he did on the pitch did not work for him – is emphasized (combined with the fact that yesterday’s main player Jovetic shows that). He finds it difficult to emphasize with continuity and continuity the need to add an attacking area to some extent in view of the winter transfer window.

The new face, Biancone, stayed and showed more with his physique – angular, “hard”, compact, ducal – than with his actions, without his first picture with the “red and white” giving the impression that he could be capable of solving them to ruin the club’s planned search for (at least) a central defender next January.

And also not how Retsos, who was absent last night, compares to any defender (and not just the central defender) of the “red and white” squad at this particular moment. Rather, it cannot be proven how much his absence has an overall impact, not only on the inhibitory function, but also on the actions of all defensive players.

This much and more is what is meant by the fortune effect, which has already been discussed a lot this year but is absolutely appropriate. A mental exercise whose completion is almost certain, even if it does not cease to be a work case: what would Olympiacos Piraeus have been like, not just yesterday, but throughout the entire season so far, without its captain?

What will it be like, even in such an artistic football frenzy, how will things continue with only his captain? Yes, “Fortu” has had another tough year this year – at an appropriate time in his career – and is capable of carrying on on his own if things don’t work out, but really, how realistic is it to expect how it will will continue with him at this pace, with this efficiency, mood until the end?

Especially without being able to lean anywhere, turn next to or in front of him and accept help – and not just offer it? Apart from Masoura, lying is bad, there is no other attacking midfielder in Olympiakos who has done that consistently.

For those before him, we said. Olympiacos Piraeus had to keep its striker from scoring for two months. Something else; For those who stand next to him, Podense’s quality is undeniable, but the Portuguese is showing flashes so far, Biel and Solbakken, no matter what chances they get, they remain unused, Scarpa is not stuck, Brnic showed up yesterday after three months.

And Masouras, the only one left, can’t make it. For the great things Fortunis is doing this year to take shape, they need him, Olympiakos needs more. You are wanted.

Until then, he’s undoubtedly as captivating as his target last night and seems capable – he certainly has the will to continue playing solo gigs. As long as it goes wherever it goes.

Even if he leaves his blue shoes (and any other color, but in this case the lyrics of the song of the same name dictate it) on the rooftops and even goes out on the lawn in socks the next week.
