Goran Stanikj statement:
“Analyzing the previous four matches, I can say that I am not satisfied with the results. According to the game shown on the field, we deserved at least four more points in the matches with very strong opponents, who are favorites in our group. However, several individual mistakes cost us dearly. Against quality national teams like the ones we are playing, there is no room for such mistakes.
We are facing two difficult matches against teams that play modern and fast football, but we have the quality to compete with any opponent. We will play bravely, as in every match, and our goal is to achieve a positive result.
As for the squad, two new players who deserved the call-up with their games in the clubs, Mateo Sofijanoski from Macedonia GjP and Redjep Murati from Bashkimi, were called up. It is good that all the other players have solid minutes in their clubs and thus maintain their form at the required level for this type of matches.”
After four rounds of the group for the Euro 2027 qualifiers, Poland and Italy are in the first two places with a maximum of 12 points, while Macedonia has three points.
