‘This will be our first match together, but we need to realize our responsibility and try to make a better image of the team. I have already said there will be no too big of a changes compared to the last squad called up for the Israel qualifier. This is not the final list and there might be some changes before our preparations camp in Dojran. Although we are currently creating a new generation, the players do not lack motivation. We miss Iliev, Avramovski, Markoski, Toshevski and Bejtulai who are all injured while Radeski and Velkovski are in the ‘A’ team. The foundation of the U21 team is with the called up players, but that does not mean any player is neglected. On the contrary, all the eligible players are potential national team members. We are selecting carefully and if they play good in their teams, they will be called up to the national team. Although the match against Romania is friendly, we will be looking for a result as that is the most important thing in the football eventually’ said Milevski in an statement for FFM.mk.
