Alos: “Greece is a team in progress, but we will have our chances”

Belarus will be one of three teams Greece will face in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (Scotland and Portugal-Denmark losers being the other two) and their coach, Carlos Aloscommented on the draw.

Of course, he also referred to our national team, stressing that he has progressed, but he believes that his team will find the opportunities to score goals against the “blue and white”.

What he said in detail:

“First of all, I would like to say that this group will definitely not be easy for any of the teams playing. But at the same time, I’m happy with the draw, the group seems equal to me.

Of course, I consider the team from the first capacity group to be the favorite in our top four. On paper, Portugal looks stronger in their pair, but I can’t say 100% that we should play Denmark, because that’s football. We will wait for the UEFA Nations League matches in March to have a complete picture of our group“, the 49-year-old Spaniard initially said

For Greece he said: “As for the Greek national team, I consider them a team in progress, we could see this in the qualifying matches for the 2024 European Championship and the UEFA Nations League. However, I am sure that in the meeting with this team we will have chances to score goals and we must do everything possible to take advantage of them».

For Scotland he said: “Scotland, in my opinion, are the strongest team in the third capacity group. We have played games in the UK in the autumn against Northern Ireland and are prepared for the challenges that may arise and the atmosphere in British stadiums».

Finally, he said the following: “In conclusion, I would like to repeat that I am satisfied with the draw and we must be ready to win in every match, regardless of the opponent. These are the tasks I have always set for the team. Additional friendlies next season will help us choose the optimal lineup and tactics for the next games. That’s why we need to approach the opposition team with all seriousness for the spring and summer international breaks. On the other hand, we will again have a long break in official meetings and by September a lot can change. In any case, I believe we will do everything possible to approach the qualifiers armed».
