Initially, he referred to his “white” absence report Gustavo Pogetwho has all the 26 players he called at his disposal, as the team also included George Giakoumakiswho came from the US and Atlanta.

He then spoke about Tuesday’s (5/9) training session, which the Uruguayan coach dedicated to a high-intensity program with an emphasis on tactics, however, keeping “his cards closed” on who he will use against the “Oranie”.

As for the lineup with Netherlands, Tabakos emphasized that it is not certain how many changes will be made in relation to the match against France. For the replacement of the suspended Kostas Mavropanos, priority is given to Panagiotis Retsos.

In the attack, the forward is “played”, but the Vangelis Pavlidis it is very likely that he will play at the top, while Giorgos Giakoumakis had played against France.
