The Macedonian national team is preparing for the first play-off match against Denmark for a place in the World Cup, and the squad includes Boban Nikolov, who returns to the national team after a two-year break. The experienced midfielder believes in the quality of the national team and the possibility of a surprise in Copenhagen.

„"We all know what it means to play for the national team. It can't be compared to anything, you play for your country and represent it. I hope it will be great and that with my experience, together with everyone in the team, I will contribute to reaching the desired goal.".

I sincerely believe that we can. It is normal to hope, and if it is our day, we can also surprise. We all believe and we came here with that goal. We will not give up, if we all play at the highest level, we can dream of qualifying. First we think about Denmark, that is the most important match. The pressure is on their side, and we have nothing to lose, we can only gain a lot. We will enter calmly, we will leave our heart on the field, so whatever happens, let it happen.

"The coach brings aggression and strong motivation. He knows how to encourage the players and I think that's a big plus for us. If that energy is transferred to the field, we can achieve a lot."“
