Olympiacos needs to regroup so it can perform better going forward, and especially in Tuesday’s rematch against Nijmegen.
José Luis Medilibar sent a strong message to the Piraeus team’s players. The Basque coach expressed his dissatisfaction with the “Red-and-Whites’” performance, criticizing his players. He pointed out that in matches of this caliber, talent alone is not enough; a different mindset and focus are required. At the same time, he emphasized that qualifying against the Dutch is in their own hands.
Meanwhile, the 64-year-old coach is waiting for… reinforcements for the rematch against Nijmegen. He hopes to have Santiago Ese available this time. The Argentine coach is stepping up his efforts, racing against the clock to be ready for the upcoming match. So, logically, he’ll have two speedy players for the midfield—Medilibar and Lorenzo Cipioni—since Cipioni is now fully fit as well.
