Switzerland can serve as a real test before the two matches in the barrage that await the Montenegrin footballers, regardless of the fact that the duel with Otmar Hitzfeld's company will be practically of a show character, claims Srđan Blažić.
"Switzerland is a serious team. They are either of better quality or they are on the same level as the national teams that can be our rivals in the play-off. That is why the game in Basel can be very useful, and we will certainly take it seriously," said Blažić.
The match is certainly important, like every qualifier. Montenegro also wants to leave a real impression in Basel, despite the fact that they will not play in full.
"Of course, every match is important, because points are scored for the ranking".
Is there an opponent you want in the playoff?
"We don't even know all the possible rivals yet, because in some groups everything will be clear only in the last round, there are a lot of calculations. So we still have to wait for Thursday and the draw. Whoever comes, it will be difficult for us", pointed out Blažić .
When asked if he expects to be in goal in Basel, Blažić answered:
"It's up to the coach to decide. All the players who are here are ready, now we who are in the background have a chance to prove ourselves, in addition to the players who are standard. As for me, I always give my best and when I come to the meeting ready I have to work as if I'm going to be in goal", said the goalkeeper of Greek Panaitolikos.
18 football players will travel to Basel, and the appearance of Miodrag Džudović, who has had a fever for two days, is questionable. However, there is a chance that the stopper of Spartak Nalchik will be on the plane today.
Traveling to Switzerland: Mladen Božović, Srđan Blažić, Draško Božović, Luka Pejović, Vladan Adžić, Stefan Savić, Radoslav Batak, Marko Baša, Milan Jovanović, Mladen Kašćelan, Nikola Drinčić, Marko Ćetković, Elsad Zverotić, Vladimir Božović, Dejan Damjanović, Radomir Đalović, Petar Grbić and Andrija Delibašić.
