The Estonians are last in the group after two duels without a chance and on paper they have no chance. However, Thomas Häberli, who has been the national coach of Estonia since the beginning of this year, does not intend to give up in advance. Although they lost twice in the World Cup qualifiers, at the beginning of June Estonia actually won three friendly matches in a row, successively against Lithuania, European Championship-goer Finland and Latvia. “We know it will be difficult because we are playing against the number one in the world. But in football anything is possible and that works to our advantage,” he said during a press conference at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn.
“You can never know in advance how the match will go and what the result will be. We have sufficient qualities and will show them, even if our opponent is strong. I already have the team for that in mind. What matters is that they attack and defend together and find each other on the field. We have to play our own game and not look too much at the opponent.”
