Θρυλικές ιστορίες
Ο Ολυμπιακός για τους οπαδούς του είναι κάτι παραπάνω από ομάδα. Για αυτόν το σύλλογο έχουμε ζητωκραυγάσει, έχουμε πανηγυρίσει, έχουμε ξεδώσει, έχουμε στενοχωρηθεί, έχουμε κλάψει, έχουμε δηλαδή νιώσει όλους τους αναβαθμούς των συναισθημάτων που μπορεί να βιώσει κανείς με κάποιον τόσο κοντινό, όσο ένας σύντροφος ή ένα μέλος της οικογένειάς του. Για ένα συγγραφέα, που είναι και ολυμπιακός, το ποδόσφαιρο είναι ένας αφηγηματικός θησαυρός. Κάθε ματς είναι μια ιστορία με αρχή, μέση, τέλος, χαρακτήρες, συγκρούσεις, ανατροπές. Ταυτόχρονα, η πορεία της ομάδας είναι συνδεδεμένη με τη δική του. Κάθε περίοδός της είναι κι ένα κομμάτι της ιστορίας της ζωής του.
