APOEL was absolute crap in the second half and had their opponent been any of the likes of Chelsea, Real, or Porto, they would’ve been murdered, but luckily for them Kopenhagen were hopeless at finishing.
Chelsea and Madrid, will RAPE APOEL if they don’t get their act together for the ENTIRE 90 minutes when they meet. Playing spectacular football for the first 20 minutes and then sitting on their laurels is NOT going to work against the likes of Chelsea and Madrid!
Don’t get me wrong, I do support the Cypriot team DT, but I was very disappointed that they just gave up in the second half thinking they had a decent cushion of ONE goaland came so close so many times to losing the bloody game!
The only thing APOEL does not have of what Anorthosis had is kolofardia.
Other than that this is probably the best squad this country has ever sent out to European competition. Its unfortunate that we are facing a much tougher group however if anyone can get a result from these teams at home its APOEL. First game Atletico-APOEL see you in MAdrid.
