Alex McLeish said the nerves were to blame for the Scottish-free display in their 2-0 Qualifiers for Euro 2020 will be played in San Marino on Sunday.
Kenny McLean's header allowed Scotland to regain momentum as she tried to rebound after her 3-0 defeat to Kazakhstan. But the McLeish team, which had been promoted in the League of Nations last year, struggled to defeat the lowest ranked FIFA team at San Marino stadium. It took until the 74th minute until Johnny Russell badures that they will have three points to demonstrate for their efforts. The terrible poster of Scotland was greeted by boos fans on the road and McLeish understood why the fans were upset.
"They were frustrated we did not launch from the first goal, "he said. I've heard boos over the years during my career. This is happening in football. Sometimes players are nervous about this and that's why you do not get the flowing football that you saw in November. [in the Nations League]. "
McLeish has denied feeling the pressure as Scotland seeks to qualify their first major international tournament since 1998.
"I do not really think that way," he says. "I think it was obviously very important that we win the game." "We solved the problem, we wanted more goals, of course, and that makes everyone a little happier." I think all the results and performances from Scotland were previously 0. In the end, we should have had four or five. We had a swirling start against us Kazakhs and it really made us go back in this whole match and I think that left some of us in shock. We had the second game, if it was not fantastic, but it was quite professional. "
