The Boys in Green face Finland at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki on Thursday before going to Athens to play Greece on Sunday
Heimir Hallgrimsson feels Ireland are in a much better place than they were a month ago and believes they can beat Finland tomorrow.
Irish teams have always trained as close to match time as possible, so therefore usually in the evenings. But today Hallgrimsson had his squad out on the grass at 11.00am at the Olympic Stadium. “Some players probably need to get some sleep, so they can do that after their training session. Tomorrow, we will do an activation in the morning and then have a late kick-off.
“Honestly, I really feel much better in this camp, both in meetings, on the sessions, there's a higher tempo in what we are doing,” he said. “That would tell me that they are getting it better than last time and that’s understandable with a new coach, new things, etc.
