FC SEVILLA-AEK ATHENS.AEK finished last year in second place nine points from the top(OLYMPIAKOS) and eight points in front the third team(PAO ATHENS).the away stats in greece league was 7-5-3, 20-24.In 06/07 3rd qualifying round won away HEART(SCOTLAND) 1-2.In the group stage the away record was 0-1-2.(MILAN 3-0,LILLE 3-1,ANDERLECHT 2-2.)AEK is very diffrerent than last year.From the possible first eleven 4-5-1(gk MORETTO,rb RAMOS,lb ARRUABARRENA,cb DELLAS,cb GERALDO ALVES,dm ZIKOS,dm NSALIVA,rm MANDUCA,lm JULIO CEZAR,om RIVALDO.cf LYMPEROPOULOS)six are new MORETTO(BENFICA),RAMOS(MOGI MIRIM),GERALDO ALVES(PACCOS FERREIRA),ARRUABARRENA(VILLARREAL),NSALIWA(PANIONI OS),RIVALDO(OLYMPIAKOS).I think MORETTO needs time to replace SORRENTINO(RECREATIVO HUELVA).The two cb(DELLAS,ALVES)are strong when the ball is on the airbut very slow when the ball is on the ground.Also the rb(RAMOS) and lb(ARRUABARRENA)are very good when the team attacking.That means very experience ZIKOS(CL final with MONAKO)and NSALIWA must try very hard in defense.LYMPEROPOYLOS is slow for away games but can keep the ball very good and pass right and left.The famous BRAZILIAN RIVALDO is the star of the team,MANDUCA and CEZAR are BRAZILIANS also.AEK coach is CERRA FERRER(MALLORCA,REAL BETIS,BARCELONA).300 BETIS funs went to the airport and wellcome the SPANISH coach and team from GREECE.AEK has nothing to loose,president NIKOLAIDIS said that the teams budzet dont depend from the
UEFA money.Payers to watch from AEK:RAMOS,NSALIWA,ARRUABARRENA,RIVAlDO.AEK also has the young and very good cb PAPASTATHOPOULO(playied with GREECE U19 in EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP U19 until final) who is going to play if SERRA FERRER try five men in defence or replace ALVES.you never know what the SPANISH coach has in his mind.To have chance from this game AEK must play 100% and make no mistakes.The team has the talent to play good futball and can score.....
