The 3-day training camp of the Faroe Islands in Antalya, which will face the A National Football Team in the 1st Group of the UEFA Nations C League, on June 4, in Istanbul, has come to an end. The Swedish coach of the Faroe Islands National team, Hakan Ericson, said that he respects Stefan Kuntz, the coach of the National Team, very much.
Coach Hakan Ericson made a press statement today in Faroe Islands, which entered the camp at Gloria Sports Arena before the Turkey match. Emphasizing that Turkey is a very good team, Ericson said, “There are very high level players playing in different leagues. They are higher level players than our players, we respect them, but we can perform like 0-0 in 85 minutes when we played against Denmark and Scotland before. “We will fight as hard as we can. It is normal for Turkey to be expected to win in our match. Our aim is always to win. Like every team, our first goal is to win. We are focused on the performance of the team. We always try to push our performance higher.”
“I RESPECT KUNTZ”
Stating that he respects A National Team Coach Stefan Kuntz a lot, Ericson said, “He was a very good player. We both have similar characteristics. I was Sweden and he won the U21 championship with Germany. It is absolutely important to see young players before such tournaments. Young players in our team, too. “There are players. When you have very young players, you want to see them all,” he said.
Stating that the Faroe Islands took part in the UEFA Nations C League for the first time, Ericson said that they aim to stay in the league.
