Olympiacos B – Diagoras 1-0: Al-Arabi “clean”, Richards is coming…

A picture from the future and one of our best years… This is how he was able to describe in one sentence what happened in the Reentis facilities with… Diagoras as a victim. As you can see, Olympiacos II had one of the biggest killers to ever grace a Greek pitch, a wonder player who had been unlucky with injuries and looking to resume playing.

And kind of like that? Olympiacos B beat Diagoras 1-0 as the Arab hitman ‘sticked it’, while child prodigy Omar Richards showed in the first 45 minutes that he was coming… certainly not to boost the B team with whom he battled for playing time, but for Diego Martinez who is yet to wait. Break-in period in the first team. Whether he will need another warm-up with the second team will be seen along the way, but what is important for Richards is that after a long time he got on the turf in a match and showed his quality.

Certainly no one expected to see him against Diagoras for a decision. The kid excelled in a Bayern shirt. He is looking for a comeback and with his health the continuation of the “work” is a given. Richards, who showed good physical fitness while playing, played comfortably in the 45th minute, making great movements and being brilliant with the ball at his feet.

We saw in the morning that the child was talking to the ball, but as we said, it has been a long time since he played in a match, and he is still not ready because he has no rhythm. It takes a long time and it didn’t take more than 45 minutes.

Isn’t it.. “A picture from our best years”? It is a shame to talk about Al-Arabi in a match against the unlucky Diagoras. The Moroccan who asked to play in order to get playing time because he had not played in the first team for a long time simply did the obvious thing. He had the opportunity and scored from a penalty kick to make the score 1-0. The “three points” were awarded to the second Olympiacos team. Al-Arabi came out in the 81st minute, after he succeeded in “cleaning” the match.

And in history beyond Al-Arabi’s goal, the “Red and White” wasted a great opportunity to double their goals in the 70th minute when Ba’s shot hit the post.

Olympiacos B’: Papadoudis, El-Arabi (81′ Flaumetros), Ba (73′ Fatija), Androutsos, Richards, Pagaliannis, Liatsos (73′ Sgouros), Koutsidis, Marinos, Kostis, Argyrio.

Diagoras of Rhodes: Sifakis, Arias (65′ Tsavos), Manoulakis (74′ Nikolis), Stamatoulas, Demetriou, Masouras (74′ Vikas), Tsiantoulas, Loukitis (54′ Monts), Andesina (74′ Valata), Lessai, Manias.
