Omar Elabdellaoui

Den norske høyrebacken Omar Elabdellaoui har et lagt og inponerende opphold bak seg i den greske klubben Olympiakos, men nå er det slutt, helt uten at noen er sinte på hverandre.

I en lang Instagram oppdatering skiver Omar Elabdellaoui hvilken ære det har vært for han å representere klubben fra Pireus, både i gresk fotball og ute i Europa. – Han nevner også hvor stort det har vært for han å være kaptein.

Det hele startet i Skeid, hvor Manchester City oppdaget hans talent og hentet han til deres akademi helt tilbake til 2007. – Det ble tre år på akademiet før låneavtaler til Strømsgodset, Feyenoord og Eintracht Braunschweig. – Det siste låneoppholdet resulterte i et kjøp, før ferden gikk videre til Hellas i 2014.

Elabdealloui spilt nesten sammenhengende i Olympiakos siden da, med unntak av et halvt års utlån til Hull i Premier League i 2017. For et par måneder siden skrev vi i Sporten at han vasser i tilbud, men hva som er valgt står det igjenting om i oppdateringen. Det skal dreie seg om flere klubber i Spania, England og Tyrkia.

This is the most difficult post I have ever made. First of all: It has been an honor to be the captain for this massive club – Especially this season where we had the best season in recent history. 
 I would like to dedicate this last post as a token of gratitude:
 Thanks to this club some of my biggest dreams as an athlete has come true. I’ve won championships, cup trophies, played in Europe and the captain of a top club in Europe. Now the time to part ways has come and I am writing this with tears in my eyes. Words cannot describe how privileged I have been to play and captain this team. The last 6 years have been an amazing adventure. And I will cherish every moment of it. 
 I have to give my thanks to the president for his continued trust in me – No man has worked harder for this club and your everlasting love serves as an inspiration to anyone with love for Olympiakos. The coaches for helping me develop as a footballer – Especially Pedro Martins and his staff that has helped me become the player I am today. And thank you to my teammates, what a journey this has been – I couldn’t be more proud of what we have achieved together over the last years. 
And to the rest of the staff in the organization that I have not mentioned: you deserve the highest praise: I have not forgotten you And I will always remember you This club as an organization deserves more praise than what this post can give, but I am forever grateful for everything you have given me over the last 6 years – both on and off the pitch. I have made friends for life and memories I will cherish forever. Olympiakos and Athens will always be close to my heart: I came as a young player, but I leave as a fan. Thank you. 
 Finally to the fans: I really cannot thank you enough. You have supported us through thick and thin. You have been the 12th man. Words cannot describe what you mean to me and the team. Thank you for these years. I know we will meet again in the future. @olympiacosfc
