We cannot be less concentrated, we have to give everything. The lads are very much aware what this match means” – said Milevski.

“I want get a bit back in time and reassure ourselves what it means to enter the pitch united, as we are one. Tomorrow we have a big test ahead of us. We must give our best and play with cool heads” – said Bardhi.

Milevski added that all summoned players are candidates to play in this match and that he will not select the players by their club playing time. However, for some players the medical staff will have to give an approval.
