The Portuguese technician knows that if Greece loses, then the team has to say goodbye to World Cup and prepare to return home. But, if the national team wins, then it must be prepared and fight against Ivory Coast.

Having analysed over and over what happened in the match with Colombia Santos showed at the last practice that he might change the basic scheme since he tested Yannis Fetfatzidis, Kostas Mitroglou and Giorgos Karagounis.

The Greek national team checked the last matches of Japan in order to see how it acts on the field.

However, the bookmakers are not convinced by the attempt of the Greek team to change its scheme after its defeat in the match with Colombia, since the favorite is Japan without, however, excluding a draw.
