He made all his football players to get a haircut as he thought it would work as a charm. Additionally at that time, short hair was not that fashionable and most footballers had long hairstyle. In the end, Olympiacos saw his trick with the haircuts not succeeding, with the only thing that they achieved was for the match to be remembered as the "final of the shaved heads".https://www.bnsports.gr/retro-stories/articles/560792/otan-o-vazexa-evgale-ksino-to-koyrema-ton-podosfairiston-tou-olympiakoy-video Όταν ο Βαζέχα έβγαλε… "ξινό" το κούρεμα των ποδοσφαιριστών του Ολυμπιακού bnsports.gr 11 May 2021 el Venue thumb|left|Athens Olympic Stadium.
