Gaiego: The undefeated… passes through Bratislava

Must read

The remarkable streak of the Spaniard, which APOEL wishes to continue!

Γκαγιγο αττητερ νπ’ την Μπρτιλβα /></p>
<p>APOEL, with David Gayejo at the helm of the bench, returned after five years to European competition. The Cypriot champions overcame the hurdle of Petrocube and found themselves in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, securing at the same time a place in the groups of the Conference League.</p>
<p>For the Spanish coach it will be only the second time in his career that will participate in the final phase of the UEFA competition. Gaylejo in the 2019-2020 season, then as coach of Espanyol, managed to reach the Europa League groups… remaining undefeated.</p>
<p>More specifically, the Catalans' European journey started from the second qualifying round, knocking out Jarnan, Lucerne and Zoria in order with five wins and a draw. Then in the group stage they faced Ferencvaros and CSKA Moscow scoring a draw and a win respectively. Then Gayejo was released from “Los Pericos” for his poor run in the country's championship.</p>
<p>The new APOEL coach in the first official games of this season managed to qualify against the Moldovans with a win (1-0) and a draw (1-1), thus maintaining his unbeaten European streak.</p>
<p>Next stop Slovakia</p>
<p>For the next step for the champions the pin on the map shows Slovakia and more specifically the country's capital, Bratislava. The “blue and yellow” will face next Wednesday (21:30) an old familiar opponent, Slovan Bratislava.</p>
<p>For reference, the two teams faced each other about 13 years ago again for the 3rd qualifying round of the Champion League and the Cypriot team managed to qualify. The continuation is known to all of us, since it is the year where Ivan Jovanovic's team reached the “8”. , where the world will enter the equation. Essentially, if Gayeho manages to continue his European streak, it will be the ideal scenario for the APOEL team, since the chances for a place in the playoffs of the top interclub competition will significantly increase.</p>
