A final where OFI waited for him for 35 years And it’s just the third of their history, having conquered a trophy (1987). Opposite them the champion of Greece and the Polynesian institution, Olympiacos, with 28 trophies! Both are celebrating the 100th anniversary of their establishment, however, in a showdown with their own significance.

OAKA his festivities and welcomes the two finalists, as well as at least 55 thousand fans Overall. More than 30,000 “red -white” friends have closed a place in the stands of the stadium, while over 15,500 thousand Cretan fans are also expected. Prior to the cross there will be various events designed by the Federation, among other things, Stavento will sing and heard songs about the two clubs.

THE OFI He completed his preparation with afternoon training at the OAKA. Milan Rastavac has just one absence, that of the alternate stepper Bressan and can devise his plans with all available. It is expected to line up a compact team, which will have short distances on its lines, will close the spaces and with its quality midfielder to take advantage of its opportunities. The Cretans play good football, they like to have the ball on their feet and are called upon to avoid the intense pressing of the “reds”, lowering their mistakes in the field.

“The opponent must feel us. We certainly need to be compact and capable of protecting the space behind our defense, but also pressing the opponent to defend and push the goalkeeper. Our approach will not change, it will be a similar game to those of the league »among other things, Rastavac said at a press conference to fill out: “The game tomorrow will be judged on moments, decisions, personality.”

It should therefore present in the final the essence and effectiveness of the last matches, as well as improving its defense function, accepting fewer phases. It is, however, on a good moon and is called upon to show in the grass that it is the best team and the mug favorite. Mendilibar has a problem with dealing with Kostoulas, and it remains to be seen whether Orta will be selected in the mission. Rodinei, Es, Zelson, Retsos, Paschalakis returns to the original form, with Vaskos not deviating from his philosophy, wanting his team to press high and play football.

“We may be the favorite in theory, but that will give us any advantage. I don’t want to believe that my players will be relaxed, it’s another title for us, my job is to keep my players in 100% and show all respect to OFI, since twice we won them very hard. “among other things, Mendilibar at the press conference.
