ADVERTISING
The Dutch coach saw several things that he may have loved in midfield, but not defensively, since given the dynamics of the rival, the Blue and White team received several notable finishes. However, he showed a sample of his intentions, since given we will see a team with clearly more aggressive orientations in relation to the match against Spain.
COMPLETELY CHANGED AND COMPLETE ATTACK
With many changes and a complete offensive lineup, the National Team lined up, after John Van Sipp changed ten of the eleven players in relation to the game against Spain, leaving only Mandalo, a sign that he will hardly play against Georgia on Wednesday. (3/31, 21:45). He also gave a stigma to his intentions, since he intends to align the team with clearly more aggressive rhythms and another arrangement in relation to the 4-3-3 without pure blood for Granada.
The Dutchman put Pavlidis behind Giakoumakis, Fortounis and Tzolis at both ends of the attack, while the very good of the day, Siopis, was rewarded with a basic jersey as the only six. The baptism of fire occurred at the rear and Mavropanos, who makes very good appearances for Stuttgart, has Svarna by his side. Dioudis was at the end of both ends of the Maurias and Kyriakopoulos defense.
IT IS WORTH MORE THAN ONE LENS IN THE FIRST PART
In the first 12-13 minutes, our internationals had a hard time moving the ball, with the guests pushing high from the start. In the first notable phase the goal came, with Siopis meeting Fortounis beautifully on the right, who moved to the rear of the defense, saw the approaching Pavlidis and who opened the scoring with a place to the left. Very good phase and great shot from the forward of Willem.
Then our National Team missed four chances to score a second goal, but wasted them, while in the 32nd minute Mandalos was unlucky, after his left shot hit the crossbar. The Blue and White team deserved a second goal, they had a good image on the pitch, but at the same time they had some problems behind. In the 37th minute, Mavropanos made a mistake, Ellis found Bangston, but his place was weak. Three minutes later, however, Rodríguez with a left shot from outside the area beat Dioudis 1-1, against the flow of the game.
EXCELLENT PAVLIDIS “HIT” FOR THE SECOND TIME
The beginning of the second half was carbon with the first, since in the first ten minutes the image of the National Team was not good, going up “turns” later. In the 59th minute, Masouras delivered a well-balanced cross from the left, although he had lost his balance, with Pavlidis finishing off a great header and sending the ball into the right corner for 2-1.
Two minutes later he left and put up a serious candidacy for Wednesday’s match (3/31) with his appearance. Douvikas, who also made his debut for the Blue and White team, was defeated by four by the Honduran goalkeeper, as well as by Masouras after a good pass from attacker Volos. The National Team was taking things out on the pitch from the middle and from the front …
THE “OFF” PARTY, HAD PROBLEMS BACK
In the last part of the game, the internationals turned “around”, thinking about Wednesday’s game, where victory is imperative, he did not score for a third goal, instead he could have tied in the 85th minute with his shot. Bull that ended up going up. The team showed a problem in the defensive transition, that Van Sip has to work with his players, since Georgia is a team that makes good counterattacks.
It is different to defend behind the ball as it happened with Spain and different when you have it standing. In general, the outlook was positive, several players showed a good face and Van Seep will have saved several notes with his assistants.
