Idman.biz reports with reference to 433.is that the football player emphasized the importance of starting the tournament successfully: "We are ready to start well on Friday. It is important to win 3 points in the home game against Azerbaijan. Because we also have France and Ukraine in our group."
Bjarkason noted that the team is paying close attention to the opponent: "We have already learned a little about them and will continue to learn about them. We will beat this team at home, but if we are not fully prepared, they can punish us."
