Well, the only way to progress in these tournaments is to have a good defense and a good attacking line. We had good defence and some lucky goals helped us to win the cup
Anyway this stuff had happened before with the Danish team, back in 1992 (and IMO then was a much bigger surprise than ours). When the Yugoslavs were banned, all the Danish players were in vacations, and without playing any single preparation match before the tournament, they've won the cup!
Otto has been a great coach so far, but since his early coaching days he has a big negative: he doesn't like to change the teams lineup, especially it has some good results
We had to get knocked out of the WC06 and after a long pressure by the sport press and the Greek FA, then he was forced to bring some new players in the team (I believe that if players like Zagorakis and Nikolaidis were still active, he would have chosen to call them instead of some good young players!) But he still did the same mistakes. As a Greek I still believe he should have left the team after the 2004 success. It would have been more easier for us to find a big coach these days and for him to stay at the peak of his coaching glory.
