Gurenko said that he is not surprised by the results of the Kazakhstan national team in the qualification for the 2024 European Championship

Former footballer of Lokomotiv and the Belarusian national team Sergei Gurenko said that he is not surprised by the results of the Kazakhstan team in the qualifying tournament of the 2024 European Championship.

The Kazakhstan national team, led by Magomed Adiev, takes third place in Group H, losing four points to the teams of Slovenia and Denmark two rounds before the end of qualifying.

— I am not surprised by these results of the Kazakhstan national team. Even in the Nations League, the team showed good, disciplined football. We took first place. So it is logical that they are fighting to reach the finals. Football has leveled off. The Lithuanians are playing in a draw with the Hungarians, and the Belarusians are playing with the Swiss. Internal organization and motivation come first.

Of course, the merit of the coach in this process is great. It is still difficult to say about the chances of the Kazakhstan national team to qualify for Euro 2024. There’s a month ahead. The question is what condition the players will be in. It’s a pity that they are playing away against the Slovenian team. It would be easier at home. But I think that the Kazakhs are capable of achieving a positive result with such a team,” RB Sport quotes Gurenko.
