Greece coach Andrea Michapolous was confident about his team's chances of progress following the draw for the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship finals at UEFA's Nyon headquarters on Monday. Eight-team tournamentGreece are together with France, Czech Republic and Belgium in Group B of the eight-team final tournament which runs from 16-28 May in Switzerland. Michapolous felt the draw had boosted his side's prospects of a successful campaign. 'A good start'"I think our group is definitely easier than Group One with England, Italy and Portugal," he said. "I think it's great to start out against Belgium because they probably are the weakest side in our group and I hope that we can sneak into second place." 'I have high expectations'Greece were runners-up to Spain in the 1998 edition and Michapolous sees no reason why his charges cannot repeat that success. "I definitely have high expectations as Greece have already reached the final on one occasion," he said. "We already did well in the qualifying group where we beat Germany at home and I think it should be possible to reach the final." Time to adjustLooking ahead to their preparations for the event, the Greek coach added: "The Greek season will end earlier than usual so that the players can prepare especially for this tournament. There are very high summer temperatures in Greece during [url=http://www.fijibeachresortbyhilton.com/umbraco/reumbraco.aspx]cheap custom replica jerseys from china[/url] the summer and it's important that the team get to Switzerland in time to adjust." Domenech's objectiveFrance coach Raymond Domenech was more cautious when asked about his team's chances. [url=http://aa.net.nz/mobjob/jobs/SetupAddProductRules.html]wholesale authentic jerseys[/url] "Our main objective was to qualify for this final round," he said. "Now that we have reached it, we have to set a new objective. Of course, the objective is always to be European champions, but that's the same for all eight teams." 'We may lose players'For Domenech there is the concern that he [url=http://www.meork.com/friends/electronics.html]lululemon sale[/url] may lose players from Les Espoirs to Roger Lemerre's senior squad for the FIFA World Cup finals. "We also have to consider that our tournament is followed by the World Cup," he said. "This means that we may lose some of our players who will have to join the senior team before we start our final round. This might change things a bit for us. Availability in doubt"Depending on who Roger Lemerre will pick for the World Cup, we will have to work with what is left over. The A-team will have to announce their squad list at the beginning of May. That's when we will know who will be at [url=http://www.kancler-sistem.com/search.asp]cheap jerseys sale[/url] our disposal."
