And I am in Dortmund now. 😆 Just finished watching their game against PAOK. I swear the Greek fans are insanely passionate. I mean, Olympiacos fans are expected to be hyped up yesterday but the PAOK fans were louder than the yellow wall in a meaningless game.
Yesterday was surprisingly easy. The people around me was jittery at first but after the first 25 minutes (and especially after Arsene did the tactical change to switch Theo and Joel around) we knew we had a good chance to get the job done. Not sure if it was obvious on TV but Olympiacos didn't have any midfield. Most of their players are either camping up top for a counter or back in defence. Played right into our hands. Must admit though we thought it was one of those days again when Flamini missed that sitter after great work from Giroud and Campbell. After the first goal the atmosphere pretty much died and it was an even easier task for the players.
Ramsey was great. He was everywhere. I think he struggled a little at the start when he kept bombing forward and left our defence wide open to their counters, they had quite a few dangerous chances there and could have finished us early. Koscielny and Mert saved us a few times. But he got into the game and was more disciplined afterwards. Proper box to box performance. Obviously I think Cazorla is too underrated by a few people on here but Ramsey merits in midfield suits us perfectly as well. He gets onto things a lot more and always offers as an option, moving into space time and time again in each move. He is not as accomplished in possession and technique but he makes up for it in many other areas.
