Ivan Jovanović sets qualification goals for Greece ahead of Netherlands match
Greece national football team coach Ivan Jovanović has emphasized the team's primary goal of qualifying for a major tournament following a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the Nations League. Jovanović noted that while the recent result is valuable, the team must remain humble and focused on the remaining four matches in the group.
Jovanović highlighted the dedication of the current generation of players and the importance of managing player fatigue due to intense schedules. He also expressed his emotional connection to Thessaloniki, where he lived for nearly two decades.
Ahead of the match, Netherlands coach Xavi Hernández praised Jovanović's work and described Greece as a talented, physically fit, and difficult opponent, particularly when playing at home. He noted that the atmosphere at Toumba Stadium is among the best he has experienced in his career.
