An expert was scandalous about Jacob Friis’ choices – “no play games”

When New head coach of the Finnish football A-team Jacob Friis On Wednesday, it announced its first player choice, the country did not really shake.

Included with the whole experienced player chart Lukas Hradeckéstä, Teemu from Puk, Rasmus Schülleristä and Joel from Pohjanpalo since.

Expert Marko Rajamäki However, he quickly caught his attention to one thing.

“I’m surprised – unfortunately negatively,” he says.

Rajamäki woke up to the lack of certain young players from the A-team. For example Tomas Galvez and Topi Keskinen are now on the under-21 national team.

“It was ohhoh for me. Let’s talk about World Cup qualifiers that are not play games. 21-year-olds play practice matches. When this [A-maajoukkueen] The player list, I’m looking for who our new young stars are. I didn’t see these, ”the expert says.

The A team will start their World Cup qualifier as a guest on Friday, March 21, and play three days later as a guest in Lithuania.

The Under-21 national team preparing for the Youth Championships in the summer will face Georgia and Slovenia in their March training games.

”

Now you have to see something new in the game.

Although Galvez and Keskinen might not have had a lot of playing time in the March A-matches, they would have already been with them. This would prepare them for their future roles in the number one crew.

“For example“ in a line ”(previous head coach Markku Kanerva) There were always one three young players to see the A-team’s activities. ”

Rajamäki even seemed to be exceptionally accelerated solutions.

“I’m scandalous. Galvez and Keskinen were previously involved and now they have been dropped. I waited for me to come along now [heidän lisäkseen] for example Casper Terho that Otso without glue.”

Did not come.

“Young players were not accepted. Now you have to see something new in the game. I look forward to seeing which Tactical and Gaming Reforms of the A-team are, ”says Rajamäki.

A-team Play in the same World Cup qualifier with Malta, Lithuania, Poland and Spain or the Netherlands. The first two away matches are critical to survive the wishes of the follow -up.

Only the group winners proceed directly to the World Cup. The best block seconds have the opportunity to race through the playoffs.

”

He has had two months!

Rajamäki will also give up on the momentum that Friis would have needed more time to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

Friisi’s pesto was announced in January.

“I have wondered about the speeches that Fries had no time. He has had two months! No national team, maybe with the exception of North Korea, will not practice for two months, ”says Rajamäki.

He underlines that the head coach has had all the time to get to know both the previous matches and the players.

“It would be a different situation if Friis had been selected for the job one week before the qualifying start.”

Rajamäki is properly thrown by the March World Cup qualifier to Finland.

Complaint The A-team has quality to make profits. One of the most interesting players is Oliver Antman.

The winger came to the A-team in 2022 and scored goals in his first A-match. Subsequently, injuries braked the pace, but now it goes again.

Antman, representing Go Ahead Eagles, has scored five goals in the Dutch League this season, three of which in March. He also leads the entire league feed market.

Rajamäki highlights Antman’s special assets, which is likely to benefit from Malta and Lithuania.

“He goes away from the opponent in one -against -one situations and brings a decisive difference that is needed when Finland plays in the ranking against the weaker. Antman is able to solve the game’s field in the last [hyökkäys]One third, ”says Rajamäki.

He praises Antman as a “hot” player whose abilities do not require separate tactical drawings.

“Also Joel Pohjanpalo It’s hot, but he is more dependent on Antman’s other players. Antman creates his opponents by passing his opponents in the attacks of regional superiority. ”

With a light step, Antman, who is moving in a light step, is good for finishing the place. He has six goals in the A-team so far.

The paint or a couple more in March would put pressure on the North Palo and Teemu Pukin shoulders.
