Although difficult, the friendly “test” of Olympiakos against Roma was successful.
Jose Luis Mendiliber’s side drew 1-1 with the Giallorossi in Rieti, Italy, showing a very good face.
In fact, they could have won as well, being essentially more threatening than the typically home team.
In general – given the level of the opponent – he showed very good elements, taking things from pressing, while on occasion he also produced nice collaborations.
Christopher Velde was the leader for Piraeus. The Norwegian winger – after his debut (as a substitute) with a goal in yesterday’s friendly against Ternana – one day later he started as the main player, being the most threatening from the Olympiakos side and having, among other things, won a penalty and a crossbar!
Close by and Bakulas – there was a change, more as a precaution, in the finale – and Kostoulas, while Biel was quite active as well.
Both goals were penalty kicks. Roma opened the scoring with Pellegrini in the 17th minute (Tsolakis almost caught it), with Rodinei – the leader for today for Olympiakos – equalizing in the same way in the 22nd minute.
