Olympiacos: Mendeleiber has five midfielders who can compete for the No. 8 position

Olympiacos: Mendeleiber has five midfielders who can compete for the No. 8 position

The Spanish coach of Olympiacos with the additions of Marko Stamenic and Dani Garcia has two additional solutions for the creative midfielder position.

Olympiacos have not yet completed their transfers, but they have already made two additions to the pivot. Promising young stamens and experienced garcias.

With these two moves, Medilibar automatically (who generally want a very specific roster of no more than 28 players with goalkeepers and since they have 4 goalkeepers so we are dealing with 24 maximum) have two additional solutions for the number 8 position. Garcia is a more classic number eight than Stamenic, and the New Zealand international has the ability to occupy this position.

In these two names there are 3 others. One of them is the top quality Tsikkinio, who can cover all positions on the axis. He presses, steals, creates and scores. But there is also Ese, although his characteristics are closer to the number 6. The Argentine is more of a classic defensive midfielder, but if necessary, he is also drafted there. And of course there’s the charismatic kid, Christos Mouzakitis. The most talented – perhaps with Papacanilo – of the kids that Medipar has taken to the first team, but also a kid with a serious chance of getting opportunities with the seniors and in official competitive duties.

If we had to go further… the eight most accurately mentioned above are Tsequino, Garcia and Mouzakitis. However, that doesn’t mean that if needed, the other midfielders can’t provide significant help.
