Olympiacos spokesperson reflects on match against Omonia and Zanos Savva's potential

Olympiacos Nicosia spokesperson Andreas Panaretou reflected on his team's recent performance against defending champions Omonia on October 20, 2026. While expressing pride in the players' efforts, Panaretou noted that the team felt some bitterness regarding the final result, as they believed they were capable of achieving a victory against a high-quality opponent.

Panaretou highlighted that the performance was not a surprise to the club, as they had prepared specifically for the match and fielded nearly their full lineup, excluding Sapinen, during the first half. He noted that while the team was competitive initially, they experienced fatigue in the second half, leading to a decline in their overall performance. The spokesperson also praised the young attacking midfielder Zanos Savva, suggesting that the player has significant talent and the potential to pursue a career abroad.

Looking ahead, the club is now focused on its upcoming match against ENY, which is considered a must-win situation. Panaretou also emphasized the need for substantial structural changes in Cypriot football, particularly regarding refereeing issues, while confirming that the club is moving forward from the Omonia result to focus on future fixtures.
