Ivan Jovanovic wants to have all the international players ready for the game between the Greek National Team and England at OAKA (14/11, 21:45). The returns to the lineup and the positions that remain open.
A few hours still separate the Greek national team from the great game against England at the packed OAKA (14/11, 21:45, ALPHA, LIVE MATCHCENTER SPORT24) for the 5or Nations League matchday.
The blue and whites, who have made it four out of four so far in their group, will be looking for a win or a draw against the Three Lions to seal top spot regardless of what happens against Finland on Sunday (17/11) in Helsinki.
Ivan Jovanovic is well aware of the magnitude of the challenge that awaits the Greek internationals, as was evident from his first statements ahead of the match against the English, which he described as “maybe even harder than him at Wembley”.
After all, Greece no longer has the “paper” of surprise with it, since England will not only know what team it has against it, but is expected to appear even more determined to leave OAKA with victory. It is noted that Lee Carsley’s team will have around 3000 fans on their side who will travel from England to Greece to watch the game.
The national coach wants to see his team attacking and is talking a lot to his players these days as his aim is to have them in the best possible mental readiness.
Returns and Positions “Played”
Ivan Jovanovic is a coach who generally keeps his cards under wraps but some of his early thoughts on the England game have been decoded.
Much will become clear after the training session on Wednesday (13/11) at the Olympic Stadium, but as everything seems to be, both Kostas Tsimikas, who suffered from a virus during the previous international break, and Konstantinos Koulierakis, who did not play against Ireland, will return to the National team. due to punishment.
Beyond that, there is a question mark as to who will be called upon to fill the void of the suspended Kourbelis. The two leading candidates are Petros Mandalos and Christos Zafeiris.
The ace of Slavia has won the trust of Jovanovic and has played as a substitute in the last games of our national team in the Nations League. On the contrary, Mandalos has the advantage of experience, while he is also one of the captains of the national team, which plays its role in such games.
As far as the offensive line is concerned, Vangelis Pavlidis seems to have the first say against Fotis Ioannidis since apart from his goals at Wembley and in general his excellent presence in the two matches against England and Ireland, he is in very good condition with the Benfica of late having scored three goals and an assist since the last stoppage.
