Our national team members traveled to Wales on a Montenegro Airlines charter, and coach Zlatko Kranjčar believes that the island mission will be successful again. The "Falcons" have never been defeated on the Island (they played without goals against the Republic of Ireland and England), although this time they are looking for a winning formula...
"I am satisfied with how the preparations went, the players showed that they have motivation, concentration and awareness of what the next match means. They are aware, therefore, that a victory would allow us to take a step towards qualifying for the European Championship in the two final matches. Basu, but Džudović is recovering, I hope he will be ready to play. If he fails, the complete defense that carried the load in the previous competition will be missing. I believe, however, that the other players will make up for their absence. Even if we don't go as well we want, subconsciously we know that we are in the game for placement at the Euro," said the Montenegrin coach at the press conference held at the "Siti" hotel just before leaving for the airport.
The team is known, and if Džudović does not play, Savić will play right back. It is certain, however, that Montenegro will be totally offensive in Wales - Đalović is pushed forward, and behind him are Vukčević, Vučinić and Jovetić...
"In some phases we will be too offensive, but for sure Đalović will have to come back. We will try to dictate the rhythm. If we have a good passing game, we will also have space in the middle, so in attack we can operate with one or two more players We can be deadly in attack, because we have the quality and sprinting abilities of Vučinić, Jovetić and Đalović," said Kranjčar.
The selector then commented on the statement of Fabio Capel, who said that he would at all costs avoid that the away game in Podgorica on October 7 decides the first place in the group. Three rounds before the end of the qualifications, our national team and England have 11 points each.
"Capello is a good expert and is realistic in his assessment. He saw that Montenegro has quality and knows that the last game could be difficult for them. Unlike them, we also have a game with Switzerland after that," concluded Kranjčar.
