a major tournament for the 1st time. the. team can see who gets to. the. table pokey is already a living legend with 10 goals firing his team into the 2020 european championship on this trouble before i think. i got some heart in tears saying how much it meant to him this is faulting them and we showed what we can do as a nation. it's the fault of the people of ireland who call it football so the fierce fierce amazing it's been been a long dream for all of us the finnish 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 jug 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 the nuts of some major cities in the continent but despite the distinctly chilly conditions the finns are officially the most upbeat people on the planet 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 the tribe social introvert.

like to hold our own space but when somebody needs help we always have hope. and fins need no help when it comes to inventing weird and wonderful pastimes from wife carrying to small football but their most important leisure pursuits is of course going to the store in. the country has 2 and a half 1000000 sweat lodges is the word literally means that's one song to every 2 people. in schools white high stocky 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 minnow and had never qualified for a tournament the fool it's been a long fight to get to the euros. in the history. of disappointments 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 like kicking the ball without purpose. we have been always. contrary for us not achieved and it is not always so 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 boxing history dawns so what's changed we a company which take a helsinki's youth team coach daniel so lucky. this is the hometown of. finland's most captain arguably greatest never player with 137 appearances and the stature even in the days of marco polo finland produced a number of good players former finland defender pensioner son it 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 you have. 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 achieve big things although your material. probably the most of the . 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 to youth development. to coaches and they just have more information available through technology through data and more. the quality could they could you know make better when coaching those young players and you know when that happens all over the fin and the logical

next step would be that we just get more better players if the producers top players that's another thing but i think the basic level rising up with. 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 an incident of the modern age. when i look back at 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 players make them think by themselves you never tell. so directly you leave them all and i think

this is the right way currently and i think now we'll see in a couple of years that will become adults and go into the professional world we'll i'm sure this will come more and more there as well 5 years coaches like daniel in shaping the future of finnish football the focus is on improved training for coaches and kids alike like new skills technique and above all a personality development for the budding new stuff. sometimes we have to humble me like all outside off debates and then we had to kind of we tried to change that of course we have to teach them values like respect on and then all these kind of things body but i think you have to be a how do you say. aggressive yeah. the dream of a new golden generation is well and truly alive in venues like this one step

forwards the country's professional clubs apparently progressing in leaps and bounds to be honest this is not only for football so 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 is that 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. if. you

need to be more like some kind of a teacher or like a daughter i mean i don't know how the 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. i guess seeing the beach that the players enjoy what they do they get their bodies to. like and be sure when they're playing by the stones and. when they playing you you're going to get that also when you watch him. play was that's about needing a teacher just as well that mark you can never is finland's head coach during his playing days he was also an elementary school shooter but the clarity of how he speaks to the players so with his he was a teacher for he says a teacher of. his of course there was a job as a coach but the weight off the players the way he compliments them and i think

that's. risen risen the respect. of the players are. those it's pretty funny there when he's all in the meetings where this. the his point was that. we have a lot of a lot and here's a here's a guy who has a little bit of humor and self irony of all sold out so that's an important. can of are commonly known by his nickname has been to the european championships before in charge of the under 21 side in 2009. as a leader if you're a teacher or coach or coach generally you have. individuals in the crew get together. i learned a lot when i was a teacher those tools i got from. your sources of culture school. on a belongs to the playoffs hold on to other stuff. 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 phenomena and. we have this word. with this comes from the name nickname and. it's happening now. you can stop a. whole lot. finland's i'm living the dream there read. thank you if anything more than that i hope i did you probably. not
