Scotland national team head coach Steve Clarke on upcoming match against Hungary
«We understand that this is an important game for us in the group. We have experience of such situations from past tournaments, for example, from Euro 2020, and hope that we have learned from our mistakes.
Looking at Hungary’s results in recent years, we see that they are progressing. They are a good team, disciplined, with high-quality players and a good coach. They play with and without the ball, have their own game philosophy. We expect a tough battle, and I am sure they are also preparing for a difficult match. Both teams have similar systems, but each has its own peculiarities, so it will be interesting to see how this will affect the game.»
«The psychological aspect of the game is of great importance. In the first match, we felt certain problems precisely with the mental side of the game, and we did not perform well. I hope that tomorrow we will show our true potential, and if we do, we will have a chance for success.»
«The only way to the playoffs is to win. I don’t see any other options that would be realistic, so we must perform our tasks as best as possible. I hope that the evening match will go well for us.»
