Olympiacos achieved a very good result in the last summer friendly of their preparation, with a view to the 2024-25 season and the start of the Super League.
In a friendly match held in Cyprus, the “red and whites” defeated Aris Limassol 4-2, having a very good presence only in the first half.
Velde stood out once again and was the driving force behind the Piraeus team’s attack, convincing so far with his performances that he can make a difference.
Apart from that, the starting team had several players who, in theory, do not count as starters, but once again the coach’s philosophy was evident.
Before the start of the match, the home team rewarded José Luis Mendiliber for winning the Conference League, as well as Darko Kovacevic.
Velde hit the post in the 11th minute, but in seven minutes Olympiacos scored three goals. Abi opened the scoring in the 16th minute, Velde scored twice in the 21st minute and Biel made it 0-3 in the 23rd minute.
In the second half, the visitors slowed down, became frivolous and Aris took advantage to score twice, with Bengston in the 68th minute and Savo in the 84th minute, reducing the score to 3-2.
The final score (4-2) was formed in the 89th minute by young Bakulas with an incredible shot, but Medilibar maintains as offside the problems that his team has again presented, having conceded a total of 6 goals in the last two friendlies.
