Rehhagel calls on Greece to play ‘beyond limits’

GREECE coach Otto Rehhagel has urged his players to play “beyond their limits” if they want to claim a place in the 2010 World Cup by defeating Ukraine in their two-legged play-off.

The 2004 European Champions host Alexei Mikhailichenko’s team at the Olympic Stadium in Athens today before travelling to Donetsk for the return four days later with a place in South Africa at stake.

“We have to be disciplined and be fully concentrated,” said the 71-year-old German, who, despite some key absences, is happy with the mood in his camp.
