Mika Lehkosuo’s contract for the little hustle and bustle continues. Aop
When Hannu Tihinen played To Mika Lehkosuo Three years ago, Lehkosuo is caught.
In 2022, a former national team leader proposed to the Lehkosuo, known for the club circles, to the place of the little rush head coach.
– The first speech left questions. I was doubtful. I had not thought of myself as the head coach of the national team.
When the work of the Football Association is evaluated afterwards, it can be said to have been very successful. Lehkosuo, who has gathered a lot of new lessons and thoughts in Norway, led the little hustle and bustle to the Games.
In the tournament, the team reached two draws. There was still a serious play in the final round.
– I have enjoyed it extremely well here, and thanks to these players. This is an incredible group, Lehkosuo said and looked at the sitting next to the Topi from Keskusta.
Power was expected from Keskinen and he responded to the cry. Against Denmark and Dutch, the net was swinging. However, there are players in the U21 national team who can be well-pushed on a quick schedule.
So did Lehkosuo said.
– Of course, everyone goes their own path in the football world. Of course, I can say that in this group, like Topi, many have a bright future in front of the Huuhkajas.
– It will be interesting to see if some people can play in the top five in Europe. I think there are opportunities for it. But surely this group will become big players for the hustle and bustle, Lehkosuo estimates.
“We belonged here”
In the stadium, players repeated the feeling of disappointment from 2-2 results against Denmark.
– Everything was downloaded to this game. The idea was merely that we were going. Not enough, the topper Rony Jansson summed up.
“Still, I am proud of myself and our entire team how we put everything in the forefront,” he continued.
During the opening period of the Denmark match, Finland got a place in the place, but the best phase was only seen in the second period.
– Maybe we weren’t at the very first period, a bit like Ukraine, Lehkosuo started.
– The boys, on the other hand, collected themselves nicely and we got into the battle.
From the opening rounds, Spain, Italy, German, English, Portugal, France, Denmark and the Netherlands went on to the first.
– Yes, at least we and I believe that the Finnish people, the media and all, we can be proud of this team. We showed that we belong to these games.
The sound was slightly shaking, partly due to the communication of the match, partly because of the feeling.
Lehkosuo’s agreement for the Little Huhkajat will continue until the end of 2026. In addition, it would continue if the race site came off for the summer of 2027.
