Recap
Macedonia is in complete mess. The captain Stefan Ristovski (Dinamo Zagreb) went against the selector Bobi Milevski and was withdraw from the national team, which is a huge blow in defensive line (the only good defender). After the announcement on social media that Ristevski withdraw from the national team, many experienced players supports him and I truly believed that all players want Milevski to be sacked, especially after the humiliation against England (7-0). An additional problem will be the absence of Churlinov, Etemi and Radeski. The weakest point in the team is the last line, where Musliu (didn’t play in Paderborn), Velkovski (without a club), Serafimov (didn’t play in MOL Fehervar), Ashkovski (now in Lamia but without a single match), are completely out of form, and only Alioski is standard in Al Ahli. In the midfield, the brain Arijan Ademi (gives stability) will be back this days again in Dinamo Zagreb, because only play a few minutes in Chinese Beijing Guoan, while in the offense only standard player is Miovski (Aberdeen), but others Nestorovski (signed for Ascoli before few days), Elmas (played only a few minutes in Napoli), and Trajkovski (without a club) are out of form.
Luciano Spalletti will make his debut on Italy bench. He called the best possible players like Donnarumma, Bastoni, Barella, Chiesa and Immobile. They will be extremely motivated to revenge for a shocking 1-0 defeat in Palermo, when Macedonia kicked them out from the World Cup playoff. The stadium will not be full at all, because the federation announced high prices of the tickets and the public want Milevski to be resigned.
Personally, I want another humiliating defeat like against England, and finally Milevski to be sacked from the bench.
