Former head coach of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo shared his expectations from the 2022 World Cup starting today in Qatar.
Jozsef Szabo— Who is the favorite? Who will play with whom in the final, and who will win? And in the match for third place?
— For me, these are three teams - the Brazilian national team, since there are many young players playing in top clubs, the French national team - Deschamps has two full-fledged squads there, which are also all from top teams; Germany national team, Germans are Germans. Spain or the Netherlands can also compete for third place.
— Who will be the main disappointment among teams and players?
— It's hard to fantasize about this topic. Possibly Denmark.
— Who will be the discovery among teams and players?
- Of the players, I really like Vinicius from Real Madrid. The Dutch team can show itself in the wings.
— Who will be the top scorer in the 2022 World Cup?
— If not for the injury, the same Benzema, who loves to score, could have given out a super-tournament. Lewandowski? Well, let's see, but where will the Polish team go?
— Who will be the best player of the tournament?
— Vinicius or Neymar, well, Karim Benzema can (if a miracle happens, and he can play). Messi is still an option, he now helps his partners score more than he does. Previously, he could circle and score everyone, but now he assists more.
Andrey Shevchenko
