Olympiakos Coach Counting On Ideye To Deliver The Goods Against Arsenal

Olympiakos’ Portuguese manager, Marco Silva , is counting on Super Eagles forward Brown Ideye to deliver the goods when the Greek champions clash with Arsenal in the Champions League tonight.

The Nigerian knows about the Premier League opponents, having spent a season in England with West Brom prior to his move to The Reds in the summer transfer market.

“I bet a lot on you. It is a game where I expect the best from you, as of course all players, ” Silva told Ideye in the team’s last workout, according to gazzetta.gr.

Brown Ideye has faced English opposition three times in European competitions but failed to register his name on the scoresheet in those fixtures against Arsenal and Stoke City.

The 27 - year - old has notched 6 goals ( 4 assists) in 15 games for Olympiakos in all competitions this season.
