Latvia's national football team has collected only one point in four matches of the UEFA Nations League, Division C, a European national-team competition. Against that backdrop, Vadim Lyashenko, president of the Latvian Football Federation (LFF), spoke in an interview with Latvian Radio about the tasks set for head coach Paolo Nicolato before the tournament began.

According to the article's headline, Lyashenko named three goals ahead of the tournament, two of which can no longer be achieved. The source excerpt does not spell out what those goals were.

Another player raised abroad

In the interview, the federation president also said that active work is under way to bring another footballer who grew up abroad into the national team. The excerpt gives no further details about this player.
