The Rumunian fahivet spoke about the format of the continental championship.

The great head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar and Kiev Dynamo Mircea Lucescu shared his thoughts on the ongoing format of the European Championship, talking about the potential loss of the national team to Kazakhstan before the final part of the tournament.

“There are so many teams that qualified for the final stage of EURO 2024. When I was a coach, there were 8 teams at the European Championship, and only 7 were selected through qualification. Zaraz їх 24. At the world championship there will be 32, then - 48. Even small amounts can be spent on the tournament.

Kazakhstan at EURO 2024? It would be completely and absolutely abnormal. It is truly incredible that UEFA allows something like this. It’s incredible,” Mirchi Lucescu is quoted as saying by gsp. ro.

It is significant that having won yesterday’s match with Slovenia, Kazakhstan would have received a direct ticket to EURO 2024, the match ended with the Slovenes beating the Slovenes 2:1.

However, the Kazakhs still have a chance to make it to the European championship through the Nations League playoffs: they will play Greece in the finals, while in the finals they may meet with Kimos in a bet between Georgia and Luxem burg.
