News from the camp of Ukraine's rival in the group at Euro 2024. Head coach of the Slovak national team Francesco Calzona told what he expects from the starting match of his team at the European Championship - against Belgium, which will be held today in Frankfurt.
"Our team is in good shape, the day before all players trained without restrictions and fully recovered. The Belgian national team has very few weaknesses, there are players of the highest level in the squad. We need to give our best to expect a positive result. We know that our opponent is the favorite of this match and our group.
It is true that Belgium are good on the counterattack, but we have our own strengths - we can press high up the pitch, but we will have to do it very well. It's not only Belgium's counterattacks that worry me, but all their qualities," Calzona said during the pre-match press conference.
