Argy Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 It seems to be official that Odysseas Vlachodimos has been cleared by FIFA to represent Greece, and is expected to be called up as soon as the upcoming Nations League matches vs Finland and Estonia in a couple of weeks. 1
Argy Posted November 9, 2018 Author Posted November 9, 2018 Called up to the NT. Potential Greek #1 for the next decade. Important moment for the ethniki and credit to EPO taking the necessary steps to get FIFA approval, before he becomes too good and Germany comes knocking. 2
Ellada2004 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 He will be a great goalie for the ETHNIKI for years to come. 1
Bardouuu Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Odysseas is linked to some huge European clubs such as Manchester United, new castle, Roma, Arsenal and Chelsea. I’m pretty sure Arsenal’s cech is retiring this summer. could be just talk but it’s nice to see some of our players being discussed as candidates for top clubs
Brklyngrk Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I think Benfica is going to sell him, looking for a profit. They are also linked to the backup goalie from Barca, can't see them spending 20 million on a gk and then having Vlaho on the bench... 1
Alphonse Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Must have done well at Benfica... I think he is overrated
Brklyngrk Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 He is considered one of their top players. A Portuguese friend of mine raves about him, how he single handedly kept them in some games...
Bardouuu Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 “In 2019 the Benfica GK currently leads Europe’s top 10 leagues in Clean Sheets (8) & Goals Conceded (3) with a 90% save rate” yet we will play any goalie besides him lmao. 3
La Mendel Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Anastasiadis, Skibbe and Schip clearly ought to be certified. 1

He plays only in Portugal while Barkas plays for a Super League team! Im sure that counts.
Brklyngrk Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 It may be that Barkas has more familiarity with his defenders. Maybe he Vlaho cant communicate in Greek? Not sure....
J1078 Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Its an absolute joke that he is not our starter...
Alphonse Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Do you forget he has started for us and was not great? Just because he plays at Benfica we MUST start this guy? I don't get the hype, big deal, it's the Portuguese league, it's not that much better than the Super League. Barkas has been much more consistent and hasn't had brain failures like Vlacho has for the ethniki. He he get more games, don't stress. I just hope he does not s%$#! the bed like he has previously.
Dean97 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) The truth it doesn’t matter who we put at keeper. They are more or else the same. As all have had ups and downs. I like how we have rotated players in this position as it creates competition for a spot. But if I have had to pick a keeper I’d choose Vlachodimos as the number 1. He is more talented and plays champions league. He’s got more of a future than Paschalakis. Paschalakis is overrated in my opinion. Barkas is more reliable than he is and is a solid number 2 option. We can’t forget others like Dioudis who has impressed many times and also that young player that plays in Bulgaria is one to keep your eye on. Dioudis should be 3rd choice going forward. Edited November 7, 2019 by Dean97
La Mendel Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Paschalakis has been a bench warmer nowadays... Im sure he shouldnt be called up until he cannot get his place back.
Bardouuu Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 A lot of talk about him making a move to Ajax. They really want him over there as they suspect their current keeper Onana will be departing at the end of the season. vlachodimos is having a great season on the other hand comparable to some of the best goalies in Europe in regards to number of clean sheets and percentage of shots blocked
Argy Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Ajax is a big club, but relatively so is Benfica. Seems like a lateral move to me. Would much rather see him move to a top tier club/league. 1
Dutch Eagle Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Just watched Benfica-PSV in PO CL. Vlachodimos had a few superb saves. Defenitely our #1 keeper. 2
Ellada2004 Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Saw the game today he looked very sharp! I hope Benfica will progress to the CL.
Dutch Eagle Posted August 24, 2021 Posted August 24, 2021 Vlachodimos once again showing his class today. Denied PSV to progress to the CL GS. One time saved by the crossbar when he was beaten. 1
paokarag4 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Vlachodimos keeps a clean sheet in the 2nd leg of the round of 16 tie against Ajax, Benfica win the match 0-1 and are through to the quarter finals. In what has been a disappointing domestic campaign for Benfica it's a great effort to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League. 3
kolokotronis99tripoli Posted April 10, 2022 Posted April 10, 2022 While Benfica did lost 3-1 in the first league of their quarter final Champions league match up against Liverpool, fans of the club have said Vlach was their man of the match. He has been top tier this year, and is linked potentially with Athletico Madrid if Oblak leaves for the prem this summer. Newcastle have also shown interest as they are going to go on a shopping spree this summer with their new owners. 1
