The players of the Turkmenistan national football team started with a victory in the qualifying tournament of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, defeating the team of Sri Lanka with a score of 2:0. The head coach of the Turkmenistan national team Ante Miše shared his impressions of the past game at a press conference.
- “I think we deserved to win, as I said earlier, we expected a difficult match. It was a difficult game due to weather conditions. What we came for - we took 3 points away. Now we have a peaceful time to prepare for the match against the Republic of Korea. Every victory is very important. I am very glad that we created a lot of points to score a goal. Unfortunately today, we scored a little, but I hope we play better in our next home game. And score more goals than today. We will fight for second place in the group. I think we have a good team, experienced players. We will fight with Lebanon and the DPRK. The Republic of Korea team is of a higher level than the rest of the teams in our group. Sri Lanka played the same way as in the previous matches that we watched. They played almost exactly the same, so I'm glad that we had a good analysis of their game. In moral terms, this victory is very important, but we just started the qualifying tournament of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Of course, I am very happy! I think we have a good chances”, said Ante Miše at a post-match press conference.
