The World Cup qualifier will start on Friday as it will face Malta in the Malta National Stadium in the host team’s match, which Finland is forced to win.
Any other outcome would mean the fall of realistic World Cup dreams to the first fence.
– I’m happy with everything. We have four excellent days and many hours of football, meetings and workouts, head coach Jacob Friis Said Iltalehti on the eve of the qualifying pair.
– We’re ready.
Friis, of course, hadn’t worked earlier than the Augsburg tip Fredrik Jensen with. All the other 24 players were new acquaintances for him, at least as coaching.
– This is a good challenge. I feel that players have positive energy and they are really focused. The coach can’t really ask for anything else.
– Everyone is waiting for this match.
The picture becomes more refined
Friis’s first camp group didn’t really include surprises. Sure to HJK Ville Tikkanen Came to team strength as a completely new player, but otherwise the Danish trusts largely already Markku Kanervan to create for the Huuhkajat frame.
After four training days, the picture begins to focus.
– Fortunately, my eyes were already accurate enough. I just got a confirmation of the players’ skills. I was not negative or positively surprised.
– My perception of players is pretty much responsible for what I have seen in my workouts.
Malta does not go over and apply for a home win. To keep the match without a goal as long as possible, the dream come true.
– I’m looking forward to a tough match. We have to work to win. It will surely take a moment before the match is solved, Friis emphasized the importance of patience.
The guest tour of the Huuhkaja continues from Malta to the Baltic States. Lithuania will face in Kaunas on Monday.
– Of course I’m not blind. I understand that we need to play again in a few days. Right now we are just focusing on Malt.
– After that, we see what happens and how the players have performed.
Friis denied that he would feel any pressure, even though it was practically a place to win.
– If I know something, maybe there are little butterflies in the stomach. But that’s just a good thing.
– It’s not about pressure. It’s about pure joy.
