Gustavo Poyet said that the big goal of the national team is continuous improvement. At a press conference before the match with Cyprus in the League of Nations, the mentor of the “white-blues” noted that the “white-blues” would do everything to win, despite the fact that they secured first place in the group. .

“I always try to keep my players focused on one goal. In June it was the first place, and it came. At the moment, you need to win two games to move up the rankings and then qualify for the EURO. We are expecting a derby tomorrow and they have a new coach so we don’t know how they will play,” the Uruguayan coach said of how he is trying to motivate his players.

Gustavo Poyet was also asked about the fact that he met with Timur Ketspaia as a footballer. “I think Ketspay was unlucky then, because he was in a team that lost. I am looking forward to meeting him tomorrow. We also have a common background because of AEK where we both trained. Tomorrow everything is in the hands of the players, and they will give everything 100%,” the experienced coach said.

The federation coach commented on the approach to the match: “I won’t tell you much, it’s just that we are trying to focus on our opponent. We don’t know this new team from Cyprus and we try to be very careful in what we do. I don’t focus on missing players, but on the ones I have.”

“We have set ourselves the goal of improving the team and this is a good test for the future. Have passion and desire to win. We’ve had great preparations and I expect the team to be able to respond to whatever comes their way,” concluded Gustavo Poyet.
