"I wish you a good tournament and, when you step onto the pitch, may your eyes see only sky blue and white. We Greeks need it." The pilot of the aeroplane taking the Greek team to Warsaw chose this moving message to bid them farewell and wish them luck in Euro 2012. The delegation arrived at Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport just after 17.30CET before boarding a team bus emblazoned with 'Born Fighters'. After a good rest at the team hotel and their official photo shoot tomorrow morning, Greece will visit their Legionowo basecamp and resume training.

This morning, during their last session in Athens, only right full-back Vassilis Torossidis trained apart, as he is recovering from a kneecap injury sustained during the friendly encounter against Slovenia on 26 May. The medical staff of Greece are confident that he will be ready for action for the Euro 2012 opening match against Poland next Friday.

Earlier today, José Holebas was asked by newspaper Real Sports to determine the 'ceiling' of Greece's ambitions: "In football, as in life, you never say never," he answered. "Everybody saw what happened this season in the UEFA Champions League, when all were predicting a Real Madrid–Barcelona final. With team effort and hard work, we can do well."
