Our U21 team is starting the preparations for the September EURO qualifiers. These summoned players must prove themselves in order to gain a spot on the despite the fact that it is expected Milevski to take over the senior national team after the upcoming 2020 EURO.
Macedonia already arranged three matches in Antalya. The squad will travel to the Turkish resort on the 21st of this month with the first encounter being on the 24th against Kazakhstan. Will follow a match versus Slovakia and the 25th and the last against neighboring Bulgaria on the 29th.
“These matches are the last filter for what the team will look in the European qualifiers. All summoned players will get equal chance in the three matches. Our goal is to get a clear picture about the quality of each player, and it’s up to them if they will deserve a place in the upcoming qualifiers. For me it is important that the players play in their clubs, something that will be crucial in creating the new team. At those positions where we have multiple choices, players that play regularly for their clubs will get priority.” – said Milevski for FFM’s official web site.
