Only one Greek has played in the previous two matches of the Conference League qualification. A little over five minutes
On August 10, in Thessaloniki, Dynamo will play with Aris in the first match of the third qualifying round of the Conference League. The Greek club is a unique team in its own way. There are 24 legionnaires in the application of Aris and only three local players. There is a high probability that not a single Greek football player will play against Dynamo.
So, in the previous two matches of the European Cup qualification – against Ararat Armenia – the coaching staff of Aris let out only one Greek on the field, only in one match (at home, won with a score of 1:0) and only for a little more than five minutes.
This lucky man was the 36-year-old ex-midfielder of the Greek national team Lazaros Christodoulopoulos. Two others – 29-year-old second goalkeeper Lefteris Chotesiotis and 19-year-old midfielder Michalis Panagidis – were in the application, but did not enter the field.
The largest representation in the composition of Aris in Spain is five players, including the team captain, 32-year-old goalkeeper Julián Cuesta. Two players each represent Argentina, Croatia (including Neven Jurasek, well-known to Ukrainians), Costa Rica (another ex-player of the UPL club Ronald Matarita), the Czech Republic and Germany. One each – Honduras, Brazil, Sweden, Jamaica, England, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ecuador and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is noteworthy that the total cost of all the Vikings of the Greek team is 25.78 million euros, while the entire roster is estimated at 26.58 million euros.
For comparison, the composition of Dynamo is estimated at 64.9 million euros. The white-and-blue roster has five foreign players from five countries – Brazil, Jamaica, Nigeria, North Macedonia and Senegal, and their transfer fee is 3.1 million euros.
