Finland’s history-makers, in their coach’s words

Talented

“First and foremost, we have good players. This is a unequivocally clever era of Finnish players and we already knew 3 years ago that we had some good ability in this age group. If people are wondering what a secrets are to a success, that is unequivocally a many critical ingredient.”

Fearless

“Playing a best teams doesn’t confuse my players during all. In a UEFA growth contest we played in England before a EURO , we played England themselves, Spain and Italy, and afterwards in gift we played Sweden, France and Scotland. We also had games opposite Iceland, Sweden and a Netherlands. Then during a EURO itself, we had to play Germany, a Netherlands, England and Spain. Pretty tough!

“By a time we played England (in a third-place play-off that cumulative qualification), a players had a faith that they could contest – even after going 1-0 down. In a end, we deserved to win. Mentally, this group has shown itself to be strong. It has been a problem in a past for Finnish teams – men’s and women’s – that we are roughly beaten before we even start opposite world-class opponents since we go in meditative of ourselves as a tiny team. With these players, we don’t see that. we never clarity any fear, regardless of who we’re playing. They go out to win opposite these large teams, not only to survive. That should unequivocally assistance us during a World Cup.”

Adventurous

“You can design to see something a tiny bit opposite to Finnish teams we competence have seen in a past. In roughly all of a games, we browbeat possession. It’s unequivocally not a box of parking a train and fortifying low with 9 or 10 players and looking to counter-attack.

“We try to control games and, even opposite a tip teams, we demeanour to win a round behind as fast as probable and play a unequivocally assertive style. We are not a strongest side physically – we have a lot of small, clever players – though we have been utterly successful in personification this energetic character and producing a lot of good multiple play.”
