Football News Update: Scotland Secure Euro 2024 Play-off Spot
After a modest start to the campaign – a draw against Serbia that added to the pressure on Martinez Losa – Scotland have responded well to secure a passage to the Euro 2024 play-offs.
In the previous international window in May and June, his side swept aside Israel in a double header, and the head coach is eager to build on that positivity.
“The last camp, from a football perspective, was one of the best. Correcting things from previous games, getting rewards for finishing opportunities, defending, more entries into the box, counter-pressing. It was a complete performance.”
The Scotland manager noted that they have developed the culture and mindset of the group together.
“You bring energy from one camp to another and we have the confidence and the energy of the last camp. Now we have to reset again and be prepared.”
Martinez Losa said he “had goosebumps every time I heard the national anthem” as Scotland’s men competed in Euro 2024, and he hopes to bring similar tournament excitement to the country next summer.
“It’s always our job to bring joy to Scottish football fans. There is no guarantee we will qualify yet but we have the feeling we are preparing well and giving the chance.”
The coach is eagerly anticipating the energy of all the fans who will travel to support their national team.
“The energy of all the fans who travelled to see their country play, that’s something I really want to be part of.”
