National football teams prepare for Nations League as Luka Jović leads AEK to victory
Greece's national football team is preparing for its debut in League A of the Nations League. Head coach Ivan Jovanović stated that the primary goal is to remain in the top tier despite a challenging schedule featuring matches against Serbia, Germany, and the Netherlands. Jovanović noted that the dense schedule, with four matches in less than two weeks, limits preparation time and forces a focus on tactical analysis over physical training.
In Croatia, coach Slaven Bilić addressed the upcoming Nations League campaign, noting the difficulty of playing three matches in seven days against Spain and England. Bilić highlighted recent player transfers and squad changes, including the call-up of Lovro Majer following a club move, and expressed optimism regarding the form of several players.
In the Greek Super League, AEK Athens secured a 2-1 away victory against Volos, driven by two goals from Luka Jović. The win brings AEK to 11 points after five rounds. The match was marked by controversy, as AEK coach Marko Nikolić and club officials expressed strong dissatisfaction with a penalty awarded during the game, calling it an injustice to the sport.
