The 14.9 km long Ciquinio, the unusual working environment, the relationship with Abe and the “key” to changing Essie

It is his first summer transfer Olympic. Yes this is the truth. Incidentally, Ciquinho was bought by the Red and White, potentially in June, when his contract with Benfica expired. But things changed when problems started with Mandy Kamara. There was then an immediate move to acquire him from January. As it happened. With the activation of his contract, which lasts for 3.5 years. And to show him with a good morning that it is a top shelf option.

Olympiacos decided to acquire Tsikhinios, because they considered him one of the most important potential free agents. A transfer 'bucket' that the club decided it shouldn't lose. This is a situation that everyone in the club agreed to. How could it not be approved? As you can see, we are talking about a football player of an unusual age (28, July 19, 1995). With 126 appearances (9 goals, 11 assists) at Benfica. With offers at the highest level. With tremendous fluency in doing everything on the field.

José Luis Mendelibre, in his first appearance on the Olympic bench, did not use it even for a single minute! In the return match against Ferencvaros. He had another plan in mind. But a few days later, in Tomba, what everyone was “screaming” at Reintes was confirmed: that the Portuguese midfielder is an integral part of… the front line of the Reds and Whites. Not only was he a key player, his presence in the match was pivotal. One of the most important pillars of Olympiacos' victory. Since then, it has been the main cog in the machine.

Run…a marathon with Maccabi

These days, after the impressive qualification over Maccabi Tel Aviv, Olympiacos is on vacation. Piraeus will return to training on Tuesday afternoon. This is correct. Ciquinho…a little more. In addition to what he showed at the Batska Topola Stadium, the 28-year-old midfielder broke it down. Medibar and his colleagues took race data into their own hands. This confirmed what everyone saw. It was Ciquinho who did the marathon in the match against Maccabi.
Specifically, the Portuguese midfielder's “meter” reached 14,900 meters! No, he didn't do it by car, bike or motorcycle. He ran 14.9 kilometers in 120 minutes of replay with Maccabi. But as impressive as that number is, there's another element that makes it… escape! This is the enemy. meters traveled at maximum speed. Which reaches 1.5 km! Disgusting number! Like someone running a 1500m race after running another 12-13km in 2 hours! Numbers that could only come from elite athletes. Like Kikinyo.

Solution of meters in work measurements

Czech is a midfielder who does it all. The quality is at an excellent level. His perception, intelligence, perseverance and dynamism in the game are always at a very high level. But in order for us to be able to get them out on the field, there is a serious situation. You must have worked. Be well trained. Ready at the highest level. It is interesting here to mention something that only a few people know. Of the total nine transfers made by Olympiacos in January, there were two footballers who broke the meters in ergonomics measurements: 20-year-old England defender Nelson Abbe and Cisinho! Something that can already be seen on the pitch. Besides, in addition to 14.9 kilometers in the match against Maccabi, in other matches he reached 12.5 kilometers per 90 minutes.

The “key” and the relationship with you

In conclusion, it is interesting to note something valuable regarding Olympiacos' good performance. All combined with a good performance by Ciquinho. When the 28-year-old midfielder is healthy, Olympiacos is on the rise. And with it, the performance of the rest of the media rose, and Santiago Essie was the first of them. The Argentine is “stuck” with the Portuguese midfielder. They are perfectly matched on the field, but have also developed a relationship off the field, showing that their chemistry is good at all levels. And when that happens to your key midfielders, it's perfect.
