- Assignment in Latvia: Giorgos Kyzas
At 7:00 p.m., our national team faces Latvia in Riga for the second match of Group 2 in League C of the Nations League.
Our national team players and Akis Mantzios are ready for today’s match, with the head coach emphasizing at the press conference that the team must put the disappointing result from the opener against Montenegro behind them and bounce back, and go for the win. The mood within the squad remains positive, with everyone aware of the importance of the match.
ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
On the field, the Greek coach will be without Konstantinos Laifis for a second consecutive game; Laifis followed an individual training program during the last practice and has been definitively ruled out of the squad. Sielis is also definitely out, having remained in Cyprus due to injury.
As for the starting lineup, most positions have been “locked in,” with the only question mark being the right side of the defense. Tsaroulas is vying with Siikkis for the starting spot, with Mantzios set to make his final decisions shortly before kickoff.
Our national team’s probable starting lineup: Fabiano, Malekkidis, Sotiriou, Panagiotou, Tsaroula (Siikkis), Andreou, Kyproanou, Kastanos, Edwards, Tzionis, Pittas
