You don’t change a winning team… and the same goes for the starting six.
So Andrea Trinchieri decided not to make any changes whatsoever to PAOK’s starting six foreign players, keeping it exactly as it was in the match against Panathinaikos and again today against Olympiacos in the Stoiximan Super Cup final.
“Thus, the Italian coach will have the following foreign players at his disposal for tonight’s big game: Tairi, Osman, Alexander, Haddins, Foster, and Moore.
It should be noted that Trinchieri’s decision to stick with the same starting six once again leaves Omoruyi off the roster, which clearly says something about the Italian coach’s thinking. This ties in with reports suggesting that the “Double-Headed Eagle of the North” is very close to signing Motiejūnas.
