“In fact, I didn’t expect anything from the Nations League draw because we are now waiting for the Euro 2024 qualifying playoffs. After the playoff games we will collect information about all these teams. Now, I think we should concentrate on preparing for the March exams.
I watched a lot of the Czech Republic and Albania, less Georgia. Albanians show strong football and have earned the right to play at the Euro. Like the Czechs, as well as the Georgians, who will play in the qualifying playoffs. I am sure that there will be a difficult fight in our group.
Yes, now we are focused on preparing for the playoffs. But I think the Nations League is an important tournament. All teams have the opportunity to get to the Euro through it. Previously, friendly matches were held, but now each team holds more important matches.
Will a return to League A be at stake? Yes”.
The winner of the group will move up a league, and the team that finishes in last place will go down one division.. The team that will become second will play with the team that took third place in League A. The team that will be third in the group will have a play-off match with the team that is second in League C.
Please note that the first matches will take place in September of this year.
