The head coach of the national football team of Lebanon, Romanian specialist Liviu Chobotariu in an interview with the Lebanese edition of "FA Lebanon" told about what goals are facing the national team of Lebanon in the next year.

- I think we can be second in the group. Having taken the second place, we will pass to the third round (qualifying tournament of the world Cup-2022 in Asia-approx. editions). It will be very difficult to get to the 2022 world Cup in Qatar, but we will be satisfied with going directly to the 2023 Asian Cup" - said Liviu Chobotariu.

- My contract will end in June 2020; I will get an automatic extension if we finish second in the group. If not, the Lebanese Football Association will decide whether I will continue to lead the national team or not. In my opinion, it will depend on how the fans and the media perceive our season. I can't stay if the Lebanese fans don't want me to be in charge of the national team, - said the Romanian specialist.
