The lies are over, the match of the year is 24 hours away
The day they were waiting for in AEL is now very close. The lies are over, the match of the year is 24 hours and something away, and the entire blue and yellow edifice lives and breathes in the rhythm of the final.
Tomorrow's match against Omonia will also determine whether this season can be considered a success or a failure. A year that started with different expectations, turned into a nightmare, but even so AEL managed to claim a trophy.
A trophy they want to win for many reasons. Christos Charalambous has been preparing his players for a long time for this particular game, in an effort to be ready to take the trophy against a strong opponent.
The Cypriot coach will have the sure absences of Katsaniklits and Neofytos, while the positives include the return of Miralas and Tsimpolas who played as a substitute against ENP. As he himself said, there are some minor problems but there is optimism that they will be overcome in today's last training session, and he will have as many footballers as possible at his disposal. A big question mark is whether or not Berahino and Frantzis will participate in the mission, with the former feeling better and there being optimism that he will make it.
From there, Christos Charalambous makes his plan based on those present and has largely settled on who will be in the starting lineup. After all, they are the ones who will be invited to… write history and bring the trophy to Limassol and give joy to the world. Whoever is chosen to compete, they know very well that they will have to give it their all on the pitch to achieve the goal.
