Europa League
Greece have slipped to 20th place in the UEFA rankings
Another week without points for Greece from European competitions, with Denmark and Turkey overtaking them and dropping them to 20th in the UEFA rankings.
The defeat of Olympiakos against Freiburg in the Europa League and the inability to win the 11th European game in a row, together with the fact that there is no other representative of Greece in international competitions, caused our country to lose two places in their rating Uefa.
Greece stayed on 24,725 points while Midland’s victory (and Copenhagen’s Champions League draw on Wednesday) put Denmark ahead of our country and Croatia, who also failed to score points this week. However, Turkey’s leap was impressive thanks to the victories of Basaksehir, Trabzonspor, Sivasspor and the draw of Fenerbahce, with the result that they also overtook Greece.
Israel and Cyprus are a little further behind, but with more representatives in European competitions than Greece and therefore more chances of points.

I have been working as a sports journalist for about 6 years now. I currently work as an author at Sportish, which is a sports news website. I mainly cover sports news and I love writing about all aspects of the sport. I also have experience working as a broadcast journalist, so I have some great insights into how sport is reported and presented.
football journalist Igor Tsyganyk He told the details of the long-standing transfer story regarding the possible transfer of Vyacheslav Kobin to Dnepr.
According to him, when Dnipro club had to choose between Artem Fedetsky and Vyacheslav Kobin, Kobin was the first choice to strengthen the squad.
Tsyganyk stated that the football player could really be transferred to Dnieper and noted that they made him an offer in the first place. According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.
The journalist emphasized that the failure of the transition was not related to financial conditions. According to his information, salaries in Shakhtar and Dnepr were approximately the same. The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.
According to Tsyganik, Dnepr considered Kobin as a priority option, but the transition was never implemented. Artem Fedetsky played for Dnepr from 2012 to 2016. In the 2014/15 Europa League final, Dnepr lost to the Spanish team Sevilla (2:3).
