Greece will welcome Georgia to the Euro 2012 qualifier in Group F on Friday with the hope that the visitors’ boss Temuri Ketsbaia does not succeed in masterminding a win over his former resident country where he played for three years. The 42-year-old is now coach of Georgia and is determined to “fight as long as we have a chance”.
Greece manager Fernando Santos will also be making his competitive debut after taking over from longserving coach Otto Rehhagel and it will be an extremely tough one as the Greeks did not have the best of World Cup 2010 finals campaign in South Africa. Despite a come from behind win over Nigeria, they generally failed to shine and were made to look laborious and weak.
Panathinaikos striker Antonis Petropoulos is determined to shine on his debut with the Greek national side and Panagiotis Kone is also thankful for his chance to play for his country after plying his trade with Brescia in Italy. Both have vowed to “prove on the pitch” that they deserve their call-ups.
Georgia coach Ketsbaia staged a training camp in Cyprus ahead of the Greece game, adding to his options by bringing in 17-year-old FC Spartak Moskva midfielder Jano Ananidze and TSV 1860 München striker Mate Vatsadze. “It’s hard to demand that we reach the finals given that the team has not won for so long [Georgia secured no victories in FIFA World Cup qualifying], but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t dreaming of Poland and Ukraine,” conceded Ketsbaia, 42. “As long as we have a chance, we will fight.”
