Mahlas for Greece’s final with Georgia: “The chances are 50/50”

THE National is in Tbilisi to give the game of the decade, since he will face the Agriculture (26/03, 19:00) and with a victory she will make her ticket to the final phase of Euro 2024returning to a major tournament after the 2014 World Cup.

He spoke about the great match on the Georgian website, “europop.pe”the once great Greek striker, Nikos Mahlaswho said that Poget’s players played one of the best, if not the best, match against Kazakhstan, while for the upcoming match against Georgia he left it all opengiving 50/50 odds.

“The match against Kazakhstan was probably the best. The semi-final is actually a mini-final. The cost of error is very high. The reason for such a score is the good performance of our team. We were very aggressive from the start, scored two quick goals and then restricted the opponent’s spaces. It was truly one of the best matches, if not the best“, he said initially and continued talking about them John Fan’t Schip and Gustavo Poget.

“Gustavo Poget continued the path of Fan’t Ship. It all started in the Netherlands. He found new players, established a new style of play. The Greek national team began to play in a style similar to that of the Dutch national team, with an emphasis on ball control. After Poget became the head of our team, the strategy did not change, the Uruguayan just increased the confidence of the players in their own strength even more. Now we play to win every match.

Poget works very well. It’s a very powerful motivator. In my opinion, this is very important. National team coaches have limited time to work with players. During this time, among other things, they have to motivate the players. Today, the Greek National Team is like a family. Poget’s work is also reflected in the results, which improved during the Uruguay period“, continuing on Poget’s formation ahead of the match with Agriculture:

“This is for the coach to decide. As they say in Greece, neither the composition of the winning team nor the game plan changes, but I’m not sure Poget will fully consider this thesis. He almost always changes the lineup and chooses the game plan depending on the opponent. All I can say is that against the national team of Kazakhstan the team played with four defenders and the defense line did not make mistakes».

In closing, he made his own forecast for the final:I don’t see much difference between the teams. The Greek team is more experienced, but that doesn’t mean much. I want the Greek team to participate in the Euro you want the Georgian team to go to Germany, let’s agree and say that the chances are 50/50».
