The Macedonian A national team kicked off its November international campaign today with an official roll call at the Hilton Hotel in Skopje. The gathering comes ahead of the last two matches of the year, a friendly match against Latvia on November 13 in Skopje and the final qualifying match against Wales on November 18 in Cardiff.
Coach Blagoja Milevski called up 28 players in order to have a wider competition for the last match of the cycle. Ezdzan Alioski will be absent due to injury, while Bojan Dimoski, Lirim Qamili and Kristijan Trapanovski return to the team.
Luka Stankovski, the midfielder for Radnicki Kragujevac, believes that the match with Latvia can bring us positive things, especially for the footballers who are waiting for a chance and more playing time in the national team jersey.
As for the match with Latvia, as always, Macedonia is going for victory. Today, each national team has its own quality, so I expect a great match, to gain confidence and to achieve the desired victory.
Against Wales is the key match of the qualifiers. I hope that this time it will not be similar to against Belgium, but that match was also part of our tactics and we managed to get a good result. Tactics are the task of the coach, and our task is to implement them on the field. We hope for a good performance and three points in Wales. Honestly, I don't think that everything depends on luck, although it is also a factor in today's football. We have a clear tactic and I believe that will be the key to success.
