Belgium head coach Domenico Tedesco said what he thinks about friendly matches in preparation for Euro 2024, and also shared his opinion about one of his team's opponents in the European Championship group - the Ukraine national team.
"Before Euro-2024, we would like to play one friendly match or even not to hold and it to devote more time to training. But we are obliged to play a certain number of matches. Well, we accepted this requirement and tried to see some advantages of such a situation.
Ukraine national team? The match with them is still very far away. We need to first play two friendly matches (today the Belgian national team will play with Montenegro, and on Saturday - with Luxembourg - ed.), and then, already at Euro 2024, to play with Slovakia and Romania. But I can say that the Ukraine national team can play in different ways, especially in defense. There are good players in this team," Tedesco said at a press conference dedicated to today's friendly match with Montenegro.
