Lassi Lintula was not fazed by the hard grip of the Dutch players and the permissive line of the judges. According to him, the match was “a normal day at the office”.
In Lintula’s opinion, the game progressed according to the plans of the Finnish team, although the opponent’s skilled individuals caused problems for the defense. According to Lintula, Finland must pay attention to this in Wednesday’s match.
– We have to pay attention to the form we are in when the opponent challenges 1-1. Now that we supported a little too much, then the space opens up to the opposite side. From that, the danger developed with a snowball effect and became a goal.
Finland’s place in the World Cup will be decided next Wednesday in the second leg in Myyrmäki. The total goals of the matches decide which team gets to the games. In Lintula’s opinion, this situation is quite irritating.
– I don’t know if I could ask for more, he admitted.
