    I'd say thats it right there. When he went to Monaco and Belenenses, Freddy, the coaches, and ownership were always saying the right thing; giving the proper rhetoric.

    In Aris, we're getting first hand opinions from what appears to be one of the more involved and enthusiastic fan bases in Europe. It'd be hard to believe that the rhetoric is falsely convincing that many of their supporters.

    Ain't that the truth. These fans have been a breath of fresh air after the surprising anonymity of Monaco and Belenenses.

    Sure. Hopefully one of the US players gets to debut a little.

    Ugh. If Freddy doesn't make the 18, any perspective on what that means? Obviously he's practiced with the team less than EJ, but people here might :)D) be panicking and saying he's not good enough for Aris.

    Is it unusual for a player (Adu) to play in a game without being introduced to the fans (media)?

    We don't even know what number he's wearing...

    To be honest, that's smth strange even for us. But, if his letter of clearance is settled before the game, I think Cuper will choose him among the 18.

    This is the pre-selection.

    Oikonompoulos and Bugaidis are the youngsters that must (by law) be included in the 18. So, for EJ and Freddy to be included in the 18, 2 other players must be excluded. From what I suspect, these 2 could be Aravidis (who hasn't played a single minute) and Vangelj who is still recovering from a recent injury (tbh, I still can't understand how he already managed to be included -- his injury occurred only a week ago).

    Of course, there is no reason to panic. I can understand your insecurity, given the fact that Freddy didn't get the attention he deserved in his previous teams, but be sure that here he is respected; a lot! Fearing that I am repeating myself, I must tell you again that he is Cuper's personal choice. He chose the player and already proved that he counts on him, pre-including him in the 20, without even being introduced to the press.

    If I had to bet on 1 between the 2, it would definitely be EJ, who has practiced more than his compatriot.

    Unfortunately yes... :(

    Unless there is a recorded broadcasting afterwards. But that's just an assumption. What we just hope for, is extended highlights.
