It's a sad situation which has been created in OFI. Distressing and sad in many ways, no matter where you look at it. And we are talking specifically about OFI, a team that, if you look closely, is a first class role model. An example to follow if we want to see one day Greek football escape from the supreme misery. If we want to see full stadiums again, competitive league, interesting football battles that will again make the ball the second best thing in our life.
And why OFI is not a random case, but role model? Because what is happening in Heraklion is not something common in Greece. There, the Heraklionites in large numbers are not Panathinaikos and Olympians. Not even AEK fans and PAOK fans or Ariani. It is OFI. This. Even a few hundred Ergotelis or Poatsides. But the vast majority are OFI, and they fill the Gendi Kule, a stadium built not within the fabric of the city, but tangled and woven into it. With the adjacent houses 3-4 meters from the platform wall. Let the center back drive away and send the ball to your living room!
OFI is not basically anti-Panathenaikos. No. And let something like this come out of the hatred emitted by many. No, OFI had an enemy for years, the Vardinogiannis family. If you ask me badly, but that was the reality. The relations between the two groups are undeniable. No player left for another place if PAO wanted him. And whoever ended up at Leoforo in Heraklion got off often. And just like that, however, the successes came. The placings in the top five, the cup finals, Europe and Atlético, the pantheon of Heraklion football. That's why I say "badly" the OFITzis slandered the Vardinogiannis. They should change their minds, convince them that he is the child worth investing in, not take them away with stones. But anyway, that's what they judged and that's what they did.
Today, finally, OFI is the one trapped and his competitive future mutilated by his own children. From Samarades who did not have good options at all in setting up the team in the summer. And the disappointed people curse that he will never step on the field again. MOLLUSKS! Now OFI needs support. As the friends of the team say, OFI in the easy, OFARA in the difficult. What if the difficulties in Heraklion last 230 years? And let 30 keep 40! OFI is always the team of the city, the heart of Heraklion. And that doesn't change.
And finally. Let all the football fans of the province forget about Panathinaikos and Olympiacos and AEK and PAOK and Aredes. And the people of Agrinio should first and ABOVE ALL become Pan-Italian. And the Tripolitsiotes respectively, Asters and Panarkadiki, the Patrinos to give change for Panachaiki and the Larissai for AEL (there the situation is similar to Heraklion even though the team has been suffering administratively for years). Only like this, when Olympiacos plays in Ioannina with 10.000 hostile people in the stadium and Panathinaikos in Volos with 20.000 Volians in Panthessaliko or AEK against 10.000 rival fans in Livadia. Only then can one be optimistic about the future of Greek football.
