Tonight at “Wembley” he is looking for the breakthrough National our team. The entirety of it Ivan Jovanovich gives the most difficult game to its group in the Nations League, since it is hosted by England (21.45, Novasports, Alpha, bwinSPORT FM, www.sportfm.gr) which is undoubtedly one of the best national teams in the world at the moment. The game comes 24 hours after the news that shocked Greek football, with the untimely death of George Baldock, who was found dead in the pool of his home, in the southern suburbs…

League B Group 2 standings:

Greece 6 (5-0)

The two teams have the ultimate after two games, tied at the top. Of course, until today’s match Greece excels since it has a +5 coefficient in goals and h England +4. The “three lions” started with an away victory over Ireland (0-2) and followed the home three-pointer with the same score against Finland. The “blue and white” for its part won in “G. Karaiskakis” with a score of 3-0 against the Finns, while in the… caps it passed the home of Ireland (0-2).

Both are making a new… start, since they have a new coach on their bench. THE Lee Carsley became Gareth Southgate’s interim successor on the England bench, but remains as head coach for now. At the same time, Mr Ivan Jovanovich he replaced Gustavo Poyet and the National team has ideally entered the new era.

The battle of the benches will be interesting, as will that of the stands. Tickets have taken off, the Wembley will be sold-out, while more than 3 thousand Greeks are expected at the match.

OR Englandso he tries to play more direct football with Carsley. She wants to be more aggressive on the pitch and dominating inside the four lines of the pitch is one of her goals. The Irish coach will wait until the last minute to see if he will play Harry Kanewhich is doubtful. Otherwise, Ola Watkins will get a starting jersey, while his participation is also “played” Jack Grealish due to an impact. Curtis Jones, Tino Libramento were also called to the team, while Kobi Mainu, Ezri Konsa and Morgan Gibbs-White are out due to injuries.

Greece, for its part, is in a very good mood. Unfortunately for her, of course, the Fotis Ioannidis he suffered an adductor fracture in the recent derby of the ages and will be absent, with the blue and whites without the services of one of their top players. Otherwise there are no absences for the National team and everyone will be present. THE Ivan Jovanovich he has also tested the trio in defense, due to the dynamics of England and the many and quality options he has in his hands in the blocking part.
