Veron wrote that he was looking forward to the return of the championship and the derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos. He appreciated that the three-week break for the national teams likely benefited Olympiakos, as the players who stayed behind had time to work, while the team, as he said, viewed the match as an important opportunity for a competitive and communicative "return." Regarding Panathinaikos, he mentioned that the break may have affected their rhythm and streak, but that the retention of several key players might have had a positive effect. He added that the team seemed to be expecting a strong reaction from Olympiakos and wanted to play their own game, rather than adjust to the opponent. He acknowledged that this approach had risks but said that this is how teams gain identity. Finally, he noted that everyone at the club really wanted the win, but that it was important to consider the long-term impact of the result, and expressed his faith in "Nistoupism" and the team. #Πρωτάθλημα #Ντέρμπι #Ολυμπιακός (translated)
