Looking for victory and Europa League groups

Olympiacos, accustomed to difficult times, has another important European meeting scheduled tonight (22:00). The Red-Whites welcome Apollon Limassol to Karaiskakis in a 1-1 draw rematch last Thursday at GSP Nicosia in the Europa League play-offs, in pursuit of a victory that will send them to the groups of the tournament.

The appearance in the first game and the image of superiority that Olympiacos had, give the port optimism that around midnight the goal will be achieved, that the team will continue to exist in Europe and will not be subject to a second elimination that will send them to the groups of the Conference League. Carlos Corberán, at a regular press conference, partially explained how Olympiacos would qualify for victory, but did not go into details regarding the squad. “We want to play aggressively and not let the opponent threaten us,” the Spanish coach emphasized and added that those who start should be 100% ready to react both tactically and psychologically, leaving a window for changes in the initial form. However, despite what Corberan said yesterday, it is possible that there will be no difference compared to the first game, as Hwang In Beom also started training on Tuesday.

In terms of transfers, South Korean striker Hwang Woo Jo is expected in Athens within the next 48 hours on loan from Nottingham for one year. Also on the way back to Piraeus is Panagiotis Retsos, which remains free from Verona. Recall that the Greek stopper was the most expensive sale of a Greek player in 2017, as he was transferred by Olympiacos to Leverkusen for 22 million euros.

Finally, starting next week, Kostas Fortounis, who has been training with cut players since the start of pre-season, will be re-integrated into training, with Corberan giving the Greek midfielder a second chance to claim a place in the squad. team.
