Greece coach Otto Rehhagel says his cautious tactics match his players.
Blomfontein: Greece coach Otto Rehhagel says his cautious tactics match his players, with the team seeking a first World Cup win when it faces Nigeria on Thursday.
Rehhagel, who led a defense-minded Greek team to an unexpected triumph in the 2004 European Championship, says his approach is still right for Greece after a 2-0 defeat to South Korea took its overall World Cup record to four losses in four games.
Rehhagel said on Wednesday Greece would happily play open, attacking football "if one day we had (Cristiano) Ronaldo, (Lionel) Messi and Kaka."
He said: "We have always played our way ... and we have advanced quite a lot."
Rehhagel says Greece jumped in the rankings to 13 from 65 since he took over.
