Belarus head coach Viktor Goncharenko has shared his thoughts ahead of the fifth-round match against San Marino in Group 1 of League C in the UEFA Nations League. The game will be played on November 12 at San Marino Stadium in Serravalle. Kick-off is scheduled for 23:45 Baku time.
Asked whether victory was the team’s main target, Goncharenko said Belarus had also sought to beat Albania and Finland in previous matches.
“It is right to always strive for victory. The game itself will show how that turns out. We constantly remind the team that it does not matter who our opponent is. A win against any opponent is worth three points,” the head coach said.
Asked whether they would follow the parallel match between Albania and Finland, Goncharenko replied: “No, of course not. What difference does it make when we still have a match of our own to play?”
