Omonia coach Henning Berg draws conclusions from friendly match against Olympiacos
Omonia Nicosia manager Henning Berg evaluated his squad during a recent friendly match against Olympiacos at the Elias Poullos training center. The game provided a vital opportunity to test players despite the absence of eleven international footballers who were away on duty with their respective national teams.
During the match, Berg gave significant playing time to squad members who have seen limited action this season, including Negó, Simic, and Odubajo, while young prospect Viktoros made his unofficial debut. The coach expressed satisfaction with the team's depth, noting that the starting eleven against Olympiacos was of such high quality that it could easily compete in a Cypriot league derby. Current reports emphasize that of the 25 players in the squad, seven are Cypriot nationals, though only three have played significant minutes in league matches so far.
Omonia is now entering a demanding month of competition. Berg continues to integrate the squad's wide range of talent, including returning internationals, to maintain their performance levels as the season intensifies.
