CESAR: GREEKS WON'T SIT ON THE DEFENCE

AEK ATHENS star Julio Cesar insists his side will still go all out for the win against Hearts despite their first-leg lead.

The Greeks are in pole position to reach the Champions League group stages after their 2-1 victory at Murrayfield on Wednesday.

But Brazilian Cesar warned the Jambos that AEK won't sit on that lead when the teams meet again in Athens.

And that will be a major worry for Valdas Ivanauskas' side who were bombarded by the Greeks in the first leg.

Midfield ace Cesar said: "We don't need a defensive system for the second leg, especially at home - because we ALWAYS want to win in our stadium.

"It will make no difference to us we are leading 2-1 as our best weapon is our attack.

"We managed to score playing that way in Edinburgh and hopefully we will get the same success in Athens.

"I don't believe Hearts will score twice and I reckon the chances are 80-20 in our favour.

"But the players have been warned to keep their concentration at maximum from the first minute to keep out Hearts.

"Hearts surprised me because I've only ever heard people talk about Rangers and Celtic. But it's clear there's more to Scottish football than just those two teams.

"It was a difficult game at Murrayfield and Bruno Aguiar's sending off was key for us.

"Some people have said we were fortunate to get two goals late on but we worked hard and the scoreline was justified."

Cesar played down the hostile atmosphere in Athens, saying: "It's sensational but there's no aggression.

"The travelling Hearts fans won't have any problems because Athens is a pleasant city."
