Owners will face Romania on Saturday. The League of Nations has got off to a great start from the A national team.
Joel Pohjanpalo led Finland to victory at home against Montenegro. Albin Granlund smiled like that. Jussi Eskola
- Romania have points, but played two away matches.
- Joel Pohjanpalo gave the coach a good idea.
- All players who have entered the field have been successful.
The home field is a trump card.
It has become clear in the Owners ’Block in the League of Nations.
Finland won two of the home games and a draw. On Saturday, points will be sought for guests when Finland encounters Romania, which has started its own journey.
The power of home advantage
Even if a block jumbo is set against, the Owls will not be overwhelmed with arrogance.
Romania is the best in the region in terms of Fifa rankings. In addition, it played against both Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina in away games.
Now it’s its turn to enjoy the support of the home audience.

– Romania is a really good opponent. A lot of good individuals play on the team. The match is guaranteed not to be easy when they get to play in front of a home crowd. They’re sure to come on full steam, we need to get the game rolling, Jere Uronen describes.
Respecting an opponent does not mean submission. Uronen, who threatens self-confidence, believes that Finland will be strong in the match, as long as its own game plan is adhered to.
– We have to keep the lines tight and play collectively. Our game against Montenegro (2-0 victory) was really good. Let’s continue where we left off. Or not, get better about it.
Uronen does not take the surprise of Romanian accommodation at zero after two games played.
– Home benefits are always a big deal. It is not easy to take points away from any team in this block. However, let’s try to succeed in that trick, Uronen promises.
Middle body in shape
Sauli Väisänen has returned to the Owls lineup after last summer’s injury.
The back injury deprived the man of the opportunity to participate in the historic European Championships for Finland. The summer went by rehabilitation.
– The back is no longer a hassle. Rehabilitation took two to three months.
Now he sees something good in the forced rest.
– There was an excuse to put the middle body in even better condition, Väisänen laughs.
Väisänen is playing a strong defensive game from Finland, which is certainly one of the team’s greatest strengths. There are many skilled and versatile strikers on the field in Romania.
– The press game was successful for us in the previous game. Hopefully we will get it right against Romania as well.
Of course, the Owners must also attack actively and in many ways.
– We need to be able to progress to the premises by giving controlled feeds. The feed-throughs behind the line must also be made successful, Väisänen says.
The fire caused the screens

The great hero of the previous match in Montenegro had scored two goals Joel Pohjanpalo.
“To whom” formed the opening after reaching together Teemu Pukin and Robin Lodin with an effective offensive trio.
– Who has clear strengths for our team. In the Montenegro match, our line-up was more offensive and it worked really well. The trio supported each other well, as part of the Owl Coaching Team Toni Korkeakunnas praises.
But will Finland go against Romania with the same attack tactics?
– Plans are made on a match-by-match basis. To whom gave strong screens. Very possibly he will play, but of course I can’t reveal our lineup in advance, the College spins.
Positive problem
Finland changed the opening crew significantly in the two opening matches. Excerpts provide a positive problem for the team.
– All players who have played on the field have been successful. It’s a great thing that it allows us to take advantage of different game plans, the College praises.
