Subject: u21 coach
Due to the fact that was heavy rain during the match made the things more difficult for us, because most of our players don't have the desired stamina or speed.
I chose the best of the players that could play well, given the circumstances and all of the midfielders were terrific.
Denmark's u21 midfield zone is not the best I have faced. I checked that at his previous matches and that's why I used no wingers ( in order to have as many players in the midfield as I could )
I used 2 attackers. If I used only 1, then Kypros would be very defensive and I didn't like to play like this. So the only formation that I could use was 3-5-2. I selected to have our defence zone as high as I could. As a result, we lead Denmark to 7 offsides. Only once ( I think at 70 ) , they passed successfully to an attacker.
Till 30, I lost several chances to score 2-3 goals. But after Sevket got injured ( unfortunately for 21 days ) , we were not so attacking and we almost were playing with a player less ( Durduran ).
I didn't have plans for him to participate in the match. I had another plans, but this injury changed many things.
During the second half, the rain made the things more difficult. Luckily for us, the tiredness got bigger for both teams.
I believe that today we were as good as we could. The win came normally.
Sevket will be a great loss for the future matches. Of course not for the very next match

I chose to have as formation 4-5-1 with 2 mid def and 1 winger.
The 2 mid def were moving a little back when defending in order to have a full defense line.
I checked some of France's last matches and I thought that the only possible way to get more and more opportunities is from wings.
The red card at 13' was out of nothing. We had one player minus from our right side, but things were ok, because France did not have any winger. Some minor opportunities were made by Ugur Duchesne (the player from France's left), but we were ok.
Solomos Bilhegan gets a light injury on his own.
And then there are 10 minutes. 28'-38'.
At 28', our GK tries to prevent the shot and the ball falls on Nalbantoglu. He is not able to throw the ball away, France steals the ball and they score.
I guess it's a lucky goal, but it's only my opinion.
The exact same thing happens in 3-4 minutes later. At that time, France's shot had no success.
Till 38', France got 3-4 very good opportunities.
On 62' Pamboris passes 2 opponents, makes a nice pass to Bilhegan. He makes the shot and the ball changes direction and the score becomes 1-1.
We made 2 substitutions just to refresh the team.
During second half, France makes their only shot on 90'.
Of course, we were lucky. Of course, we had only 1 opportunity, while France had 3-4 classic opportunities.
But what it counts at the end is the score.
We are very happy with the result, because when you face no6 on the world ranking, the only things that you have in mind is not to be beaten with 4, 11, 7 goals (like France's previous matches)
The only thing that matters is the score.
1-1

after watching some Senegal's matches, I came up with the conclusion that he would play with the known winger at his left attack and with his known attacker. That's why I placed Usar, who played for the first time as defender, as right wing back. Senegal's mid zone looks good enough, but the def zone and especially wing def are not so good. That's why I placed a winger and 2 attackers. I wanted to press his def zone and make more and more opportunities.
at first half, Senegal has a fair opportunity but nothing else happened. neither side.
at second half, at our first opportunity, we scored and everything looked a little bit easier. but Senegal was lucky because our goalkeeper made a tremendous mistake and they scored a goal.
I had set some tactical changes and we changed our formation. we dominated a little bit more at mid zone and we became a little bit more offensive. at 84' we scored another goal and we won the match.
I used at my initial formation Sevket, who is still light injured but he is the best attacker.
The strange things about this match was that our best defender ( Nalbantoglu ) did not perform according to his skills, Filistiades made a mistake that cannot be justified and Bilhegan was very slow for the very first minute, even if he has pretty good pace.
Luckily , Boran and Barutcu were impressive again.
To tell all the truth, I believe that today we did not play well.
And as a conclusion : We are not yet qualified. We have plenty of matches. 5 matches and everything can be done. or cannot be done

so close..for the first time we are so close for the WC..5 points above the 3rd team(both Latvia & Denmark)so if everything goes right(wins with Honduras-Senegal plus at least 2-3 points with other 3 qualification would not be so far)anyway nothing finishes..good job + good luck!!!
at the today friendly match, I wanted to check 4 wingers.
I selected 2 new players for having them as wingers (Miltiadous and Loizidis ). Also, I selected Andreou to play at his second friendly match. The two first players played pretty well, even if Miltiadous at his club plays as DEF. I have contacted his owner and I will try to convince him on changing his training.
The test with the 4 wingers was pretty good and I think that I have more and more clear on whom I can select for a formal match.
I also wanted to check if Pamboris can play as well as when he plays as winger.
This test was not successful. He did not play very well.
I think that on first half, while I was playing with 2 attackers, our mid zone was extremely weak. That's why I wanted to test the formation with one attacking midfielder and one attacker. The results were much better than the first half.
I had 2 wingers and 2 attackers in the same formation. That was the question today; whether we can have a formation like this. I believe that the team did it extremely well during second half.
Akamine ( you can all watch his skills ) was unstoppable, even if 2 of the 3 goals are caused by our mistakes. At second goal, Nalbantoglu did not perform well and at the third goal, the gk was inexcused with what he did.
I don't blame Match Engine or anything else, but both 2 players has 17 and 16 form. I don't know why this happens. Also, in our last formal match, Nalbantoglu also made a mistake.
Usar that has 15 form made another mistake that luckily did not led to another goal.
I can tell again that I am not willing to play any match with this formation. Only testing.

the team did exactly what I had planned .
All the midfielders played well. They all had high rating and with the possession of the ball and all the passes to winger and to attackers helped making opportunities.
the two substitutions helped even more the team perform with more speed.
we have still work to do. 4 more difficult matches and everything can be done.
so please everybody be patient.
I will try to do the best by having the correct players at the correct positions.
next week is tha match against France. very difficult match. we will see after Thursday's training how the formation will be
