mom. i will say all story. nikos a. must. start january 27th on d w. t because i think it's. november 29th the who. write history. fighting for

a major tournament for the 1st time. he. gets to the. table pokey is already a living legend with 10 goals firing his team into the 2020 european championship on his tribal people wanting to pitch i've got some hearts interiors and saying how much he makes a game he says faltering on and we showed what we can do us as a nation. it's a fall of the people of polish football so the fierce fierce amazing it's been a long freefall all of us the finish football association was founded back in 1907113 years later the men's team will be competing at its 1st year rose.

it can get pretty cold in finland and in the winter very dog it's also one of the most sparsely populated countries in europe. the country has a total population of 5 and a half 1000000 less than after some major cities in the continent but despite the distinctly chilly conditions the finns are officially the most upbeat people on the planet so according to the un's world happiness reports. they say finnish people are really close to. rude but i don't think that's the case i mean. it's a pretty it's a country that. is. all those private social introvert.

we like to hold our own space but when somebody needs help we always have hope. and finns need no help when it comes to inventing weird and wonderful pastimes from wife carrying to swamp football but their most important leisure pursuits is of course going to the sauna. the country has 2 and a half 1000000 sweat lodges is the word literally means that's one sauna for every 2 people. but sports wise heights hockey tops everything and people don't blink when the president takes to the ring as for football the men's team at least have always been minnows and had never qualified for a tournament the fool it's been a long fight to get to the euros. in the history of the a lot of disappointment. even we have in finland we have onward to football.

now they're called trees they play football and here in finland we play. with means liking to ball with a purpose. we have been all wish. to contrary to us law that cheat and it is not always so it's it's a really strange to be in this situation. now the men's football team are kicking with a purpose as a new chapter in finnish boarding history dawns so what's changed we accompany which take a helsinki's youth team coach daniel s. in the lucky thing. this is the hometown of yari lebanon finland's most captain arguably greatest ever player with 137 appearances and the stature even in the days of marco polo finland produced a number of good players from a finland defender petry best son knows what's different now.

when i played with. big names big stars and. you know we got along just fine but this is different this team you know. but those 2 guys are just part of the team so in that sense i think it's a team to finish people can really identify themselves it was just a bunch of normal guys who really have shown that if you're a unit you can shoot things although your material the list and probably the most of the good teams. regular guys perhaps but more than just normal on the pitch the standard of football has improved in recent years thanks also to the finnish f.a. committing more resources a huge development. now. they just have more information available through technology through data and. the quality they could you know make better when coaching those young players and you

know when that happens all the fin and the logical next step would be that we just get more better players if that produces top players that's another thing but i think the basic level of. the often harsh climatic conditions hardly lend themselves to outdoor football side of the building of sports halls with full sized pitches means the youngsters can now practice all year and in addition to better facilities the philosophy behind training programs is likewise incident of the modern age. when i look back of my youth and also my professional career i think nobody ever asked me a question how things should be done i was told how things should be done. i think the coaching has more into the pragmatic way that you make them think by themselves you never tell. so directly you lead them all

and i think this is the right way currently and i think now we'll see in a couple of years players that will become adults and go into the professional world we'll i'm sure this will come more and more there as well but his coaches like daniel a shaping the future of finnish football the focus is on improved training for coaches and kids alike working on skills technique and above all of personality development for the budding new stars. sometimes we have to humble any like. side of debates and then we have to kind of we tried to change that of course we have to teach them values like respect their own and then all these kind of things body but i think you have to be a leader be how do you say. aggressive yeah. the dream of a new golden generation is well and truly alive venues like this one are step

forwards the country's professional clubs are currently progressing in leaps and bounds to be honest this is not only for football if you play american football rugby whatever it's for for everybody. this is has been a really important development maybe during the last 10 or 15 years different clubs have improved their facilities by their own and this is creating a new phenomenon which is old news in central europe in the we are starting to have our own training center at least the biggest clubs did we mention before that it can get dark in finland the winter evenings a very long providing plenty of time to chat about the eagles evolution and perhaps take a closer look at the secret to that success. you

need to be more like some kind of fact teacher or like a foreigner i mean i don't know how you say it but out something like that because . some sort of time that they have to get there and it's more about mentality. you. can see on the beach that the players enjoy what they do they get their body stereo. and be sure when they're playing. and. when they play you you're going to get that also when you watch him. play it was that's about needing a teacher just as well but mark who can never finland's head coach during his playing days he was also an elementary school shooter the clarity how he speaks to the players so if he's here with a teacher or he sees a teacher if they know he's of course a lot of the job as a coach but the weight off the players the way he compliments them and i think

that's. risen risen the respect in the place where. sometimes it's pretty funny there when he's holding the meetings where this. in the his point was the t.v. show we have a lot of a lot of and he's a he's a guy who has a little bit of humor and self irony of all so that's that's an important. can of commonly known by his nickname revie has been to the european championships before in charge of the under $21.00 site in 2009. as a leader if you're a teacher or coach or coach generally you have. individuals in the crew get together. and of course. i learned a lot when i worked as a teacher so those tools i got from the to education offer yourself as a coach as well but i don't want to go on a on a belongs to the players the whole team including. the eagles' high

flying achievements have been julie on it by the press with the associations media day event attended by domestic and international journalists and the media can always be counted on to conjure up a catchy name for a new phenomenon. we have this word. with this comes from the name nickname and i mean. it's happening now for evolution you can stop the. cause. finland's a living the dream there are evolution. thank you if anything my hope was that you probably. would not go just to
