The weak nationality is able to score points from such a strong opponent. Nations League will be held for the first time. Everyone is watching this race and they will try to take advantage of their chances. If there was another race, perhaps it would be comfortable to fight against our current opponents.However, in terms of leaving for the European Championship, all teams will try to use their chances and struggle.We are one of those teams. Of course, at every step we have to be careful about our opponents, and we should properly evaluate them.
