Anastopoulos: “Not 6, but 36 coaches, the president can change – when Martins came, did his mother recognize him?”

Nikos Anastopoulos spoke to Metropolis 95.5 commenting on developments at Olympiacos, coach changes, this year's tournament, but Razvan Lucescu.

His legend Olympiaco, Nikos Anastopoulos He spoke on the program “Sti Sentra” on Metropolis 95.5 and commented on the developments in the “red and white” with the change of the new coach. The former Piraeus footballer stressed that the president has the right to change the number of coaches he wants, if he sees that those who came do not do so. He explained that the coach is the one who usually changes, because the players cannot leave.

He even referenced his former coach Olympiaco, Pedro Martinez He stressed that no one knew him before he came to the “Red Whites” and that Marinakis was the one who gave the guarantees of success.

Naturally, he did not fail to comment on this year's tournament Lucescubut also the derby between PAOK and AEK, which will come (11/02-20:00).

Everything he said in detail:

“Coaches leave because players cannot leave. If the president sees that the person chosen by the authorities is not well, why not change him? Number 6, it can change to 36, if someone is not doing well he has to leave. What Marinakis brought in is He brought in the coach like before, and in my opinion he did well and fired him. To fire the sixth coach, you must have spirit.”

For completed transfers:

“These 70 players who came are the choices of the coaches who changed. With 'if' you can't do anything, and with 'if' you can't achieve anything in football. After this selection, Marinakis will choose the best and will pay him a huge sum. He brought Kudron to Olympiacos for two million euros a year. In his opinion, he is the best. He asked him to bring a coach and players. They did not do that and he changed them. In the big teams, you cannot wait. They say, “Here and now I want the championship.”

While he added about Pedro Martinez:

“Who was Martins when he came? Did his mother know him? Marinakis gave him the guarantees to get the players he wanted and achieve what he achieved over time.”

He said about the tournament:

“The championship will be decided in the qualifiers. Last year, AIK secured a margin of 8 points and won the championship. Everything is possible, there is a priority, let’s see everything.”

Regarding the renewal of Razvan Lucescu’s contract:

“Lucescu has shown through his results that he is the ideal coach for PAOK and this shows on the field. He corrected the instability that occurred last year and last year with the players who came, because the coach is not a magician, he also needs players.”

While he referred to the PAOK-AEK derby:

“It is a derby that will be decided in the details. AEK is a very good team against a very good PAOK team. The match will be decided based on pressure and playing the midfield.”
