Discussion: The cabin’s sincere words and the remarkable gesture of Slovakia’s players. Coach Calzona reacts to the wave of criticism
I’ll say it clearly… We mainly lack a quality attack. Midfield is ok, we create chances, defense is ok, but everyone makes a mistake once in a while… Goalkeepers are ok. We are missing a striker who will regularly score goals in rep. Schranz is partly that in my opinion, he’s just injury prone. If there is a capable attacker, or two, then they will pick up. The midfield does not have Hamšík, but the transition phase is fine, until the 16th round, when the problem arises. I hope it will be removed. I also see a decent basis for a capable team if everyone pulls together, which does not break. Although we will be in the 4th or 5th place in the qualification for ME 2024, if we improve our performance and stand together, we will have a decent strength to fight for promotion. The 21 should be able to provide good players for the effective performances of the A-team. I see 8 usable players for the A-team there. , that they will advance to the European Championship 2023, and this will return the path to the successful completion of the goal for the SR A-team. It must be combined sensitively and appropriately. 21+ A-team=very likely success. The 21-year-old played 2 almost winning matches against ultra-strong Spain, so I believe that we have taken care of the quality as well. However, there is still one missing piece (advancement to the European Championship 2023) in the starting puzzle of, I believe, a successful senior national team. However, it is necessary to work on all positions and take it well from the 21st SR.
