The Greek national team hosts England tonight (14/11, 21:45) at the packed OAKA with the aim of a positive result with which it will lock the first place in its group in the Nations League. Jovanovic’s plans and the only question mark for the lineup.
The biggest moment for the Greek National Team in the Nations League has arrived. The blue and whites take on England tonight (14/11, 21:45, ALPHA, LIVE MATCHCENTER SPORT24) in a packed OAKA with the aim of winning or drawing to top their League B group.
Our representative group, which counts four victories in the first four competitive games of the competition, yesterday completed its preparation for the game with the three lions and both from Ivan Jovanovic’s press conference and from the training session that followed, the reasoning of the federal team became clear technician.
“A draw can never be an initial goal. We will never go into a game like this against such an opponent with two results in mind,” was the message of the experienced coach and the blue and white team is expected to enter the game from the first minute to win.
Jovanovic’s winning plan
The Greek National Team has experienced footballers who have played together in a series of demanding games. Since the double at Wembley and the draw with France, the body of the blue and white team has not changed and Ivan Jovanovic is also expected to rely on it.
The national coach expects his players to bring out the energy and intensity they did in the match at Wembley, come out first in duels and have good options in the final third of the pitch, knowing that the English will present a different face after the defeat in their headquarters.
Odysseas Vlachodimos will take a place under the posts, with Koulierakis returning to the Mavropanos side after his absence with Ireland due to cards. Rota will start on the right and Kostas Tsimikas is also expected to take a place in the starting line-up after missing the last two matches of the national team due to a virus. However, both Giannoulis and Retsos claim a place in the starting line-up, albeit with fewer chances.
Siopis will start as a defensive midfielder and Bakasetas will once again take the baton. However, one position still remains open. This is the player who will complete the trio on the axis. The former coach of Panathinaikos did not open his papers regarding the player who will fill the gap of the suspended Kourbelis.
In the attack, things are clearer, with Masoura and Tzoli being the favorites for the two positions on the “wings”, while Pavlidis seems to be the one who will get the anointing at the top of the attack. Of course, Fotis Ioannidis is also “in the squad”, but the Benfica striker currently has the lead to get a starting shirt.
It is worth mentioning that the EPO issued a notice in which it invites the fans to come to the stadium on time and occupy the seat indicated on their ticket. The gates of the Olympic Stadium will open at 19:00.
After all, OAKA will be suffocatingly full of approximately 55,000 fans, with the tickets made available by EPO being snapped up in just a few hours.
England will also have warm support since more than 3,500 are the sports fans who made the trip to Greece to watch the efforts of the three lions up close.
