Samaris absolutely clueless about what the coach is saying...




Sometimes, even for fluent speakers like us is hard to understand him, I imagine for him.

It's like he's thinking "man, this guy is crazy. what did I get myself into?"

Pretending to understand - nodding - hoping he leave the situation soon.

Fortunately football is an universal language. Otherwise, players of all nationalities wouldn't understand each other and their foreign coaches. It's not hard to learn key words such as "pass" or "tackle". And even if you play sports with teammates of different nationalities who don't speak a common language with you it's still obvious most of the time what they're telling you on the pitch. You can tell if they want you to pass them the ball, etc.

I must warn you: this man speaks with the true.

Talks about the difference Pereira is bringing to the tactical side of the team. Need google translate.

Can you make a sum of the article?

The translation sucks, I can't understand.

Basically Michel had the fullbacks playing as wingers. Seems now they will sit deeper in a more traditional back 4.

Seems also he will play another midfielder bext to the '6' Maniatis - either the Serb or Endinga. This is kinda what Michel did when he would play Kasami as the 8, but that didn't happen to often.

So Pereira's team?

........................Roberto....................

Elabdoulli......Siovas...Botia?.......Matsuaku

....................Maniatis...........................
..................................Endinga/Serb.................

............................Kasami...............................

Etc.......

That's what Porto fans hated about Pereira.
He would use two defensive-minded midfielders that supporters deemed as unnecessary.

Obviously there's nothing wrong with that, I wish Benfica would play like that, but when they saw that Porto didn't create enough chances - they started criticizing the role of the "8", that was too defensive in their opinion. I think the same happened the year after though.

It's too early yet. He's probably just making the team more safe defensively (more men behind the ball carrier, i.e. offensive covers). In a few months and especially in the next season, we'll see the true ideas that Vitor Pereira wants to implement at Olympiakos.

Let's not forget that Michel defends men to men. And VP defends zone. So this will take some time (to start training this (probably) and to the players dominate this), and probably new players, because the players gain addictions.

Faliro, please don't ask if he's any good. I would have to be honest with you.
