The next day, the Olympiacos derby was stronger. The Red-Whites may have lost points of victory at the last moment of the game, despite everything that happened on Sunday night at Leoforo, only profits can bring them a continuation of the championship, which is now expected to be hot. both in the two matches remaining before the final of the first round, and in the second leg after the World Cup in Qatar.

In Olympiakos, it was not by chance that they raised their voice. Even Giannis Vrettsov’s announcement of a possible withdrawal from the championship, although in fact it seems unrealistic, was made in order to make it clear to everyone that the path to the final is long. Some may have agreed with the position of close associate Vangelis Marinakis, which they conveyed to the President of Olympiacos yesterday in continuous meetings (today is the previously announced board meeting), but football is not basketball. There is no guaranteed contract here, as in the Euroleague, to be able to keep the squad, and therefore a possible departure automatically means the dissolution of the team. In addition to relegation to the 3rd national team and a fine of 100,000 euros to the president and the main shareholder of PAE, the Red and Whites will also lose a television contract worth 55 million euros for the next three years. while taking into account the fact that in order to play in Europe until they return to the big division, they will have to win the Cup, so we are talking about the loss of tens of millions of euros.

Olympiacos won competitively by rallying its platform.

In addition, the attack of Vangelis Marinakis even on the government rallied the people. Thus, it is expected that both tomorrow in Livadia and in the derby with AEK there will be a massive presence of fans, which they announced yesterday in their announcement. Of course, this also provoked a reaction from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who, in an interview he gave to Nikos Hatzinikolaou, stressed: “Olympiakos, and I, too, Olympiakos, have won so many championships. Where is the criminal organization?

In the midst of all this, Mitchell and the players are trying to concentrate on the next two matches (Levadiakos away, AEK at home) which are an equal final for the Red-Whites, since with two wins they can change the facts in the race.
