Aiming for an Ideal Start

Ethnikos, with Rui Ferreira on the bench, aims to begin a new, successful path after a series of disappointing results. The team faces AEL today, with the goal of returning to winning ways. Ferreira has focused on the psychological recovery of the players and correcting individual mistakes. There is particular interest in the match against AEL, as the opposing coach, Hugo Martins, knows the team well. Despite the difficulties, Ferreira has prepared his players accordingly. Ethnikos comes from seven consecutive defeats and is in a difficult position in the standings. The team's last victory was in October, making today's match particularly important. Changes are expected in the starting lineup, with potential players Masado and Bahanak, while Ofouri returns. Bautista, Toubas, and Rodriginio are out of the squad. New signing Siverio is available, while Youssas is unlikely to be fit to play.
