Today our best team had the first of the two planned trainings. Only our defense player Vanche Shikov didn’t exercise with the team due to injury and pain in the chest muscle. Stefan Spirovski, national team player and member of the Macedonian club Vardar, stated that our team will be ready to stand against the favored Slovakian team.

-The match will be very tough, but we will be prepared and motivated to play a good match. We are aware of our capabilities and we know what we want. We are training well, we follow the methods of work of our new head coach and the atmosphere in our team is very positive. I am sure that we will show that at the match against Slovakia. Slovakia is the favored team at this match, but we are also preparing ourselves for a positive result. -stated Spirovski.

The Macedonian team will try to play at the best capacity against the Slovakian team which is at first place in our group. Besart Abdurahimi stated that we have to be well organized against Slovakia.

-It is very good that the new head coach imposed his work ethic and his vision for the team, which we all accepted very well and I believe that we have raised the team spirit in the national team. This past five days we have been training very hard, but the real challenge is still awaiting us. We have to be well organized against Slovakia, and I hope that every one of us will be at the height of the task and will follow the instructions of the technical staff, and I really hope that we will have a good match. – stated Abdurahimi.
